| Lebanon MP accuses Hezbollah of preparing for civil unrest |
| 2007-11-05 |
| MP Mohammed Hajjar, a member of the Democratic Gathering Bloc headed by Druze chief Walid Jumblatt, on Saturday accused Hezbollah of preparing for civil unrest across Lebanon. He said former cabinet minister Wiam Wahhab was to carry out the plan in the mountains, former MP Abdul Rahim Mrad in the Bekaa, Gen. Michel Aoun in Jbeil (Byblos) and Kesrouan, Muslim scholar Fathi Yakan in the north, and former cabinet minister Suleiman Franjieh in Zgorta - al Zawiya region. Hajjar, in an interview with Kuwait's daily Assiyassa, indicated that the unrest could be sparked once the March 14 ruling majority elect a president by a half-plus-one vote of MPs. "This is what Gen. Aoun pointed to when he talked about an expected coup, and which Hezbollah leaders daily threaten with," Hajjar added. He urged the Lebanese army and security forces to launch raids in search of weapons to be used during the turmoil "upon clear orders from the Syrian regime." |
