Franjieh: We Must Know Who 'Betrayed' al-Hasan

[An Nahar] Marada Movement

leader MP Suleiman Franjieh on Friday said one should not ask who killed Intelligence Bureau chief Maj. Gen. Wissam al-Hasan but rather who “betrayed” him.

“We must not ask who killed Wissam al-Hasan but rather who betrayed Wissam al-Hasan, and usually those who betray are the allies,” said Franjieh in an interview on al-Manar television.

“Western intelligence agencies were asking Wissam al-Hasan about the rise of extremism and he was reassuring them before he got killed,” Franjieh added, wondering why al-Hasan was “assassinated amid the shift in the international stance on the Syrian crisis.”

The Marada leader accused the opposition March 14 camp of taking advantage of al-Hasan's liquidation in order to topple Prime Minister Najib Miqati's government.

“Blaming Miqati for al-Hasan's blood is a way to seize the premiership,” Franjieh charged.

“March 14 is not boycotting the government in order to topple it, but rather to form its own government or for the electoral law,” added Franjieh.
