سماحة يقر بارتكابه التهم الموجهة ضده: المخابرات نصبت لي فخا عبر كفوري

Read this story in English W460

اعترف الوزير السابق ميشال سماحة الاثنين أمام امام المحكمة العسكرية بارتكابه كل الجرائم والتهم الموجهة ضده.

ويحاكم القضاء العسكري سماحة الموقوف منذ آب 2012 بتهمة التخطيط مع رئيس جهاز الامن الوطني السوري اللواء علي مملوك ومدير مكتبه عدنان (مجهول باقي الهوية) "لنقل متفجرات من سوريا الى لبنان بنية تفجيرها وقتل شخصيات سياسية ورجال دين ومسلحين سوريين ومهربين" على الحدود بين سوريا ولبنان.

وقال سماحة انه تسلم "مبلغ 170 ألف دولار من السوريين داخل كيس في مكتب عدنان (مدير مكتب مملوك) ووضعتها في صندوق سيارتي مع المتفجرات. ولدى وصولي الى بيروت عند الساعة السابعة مساء إتصلت بميلاد كفوري وسلمته الأموال والمتفجرات في مرآب منزلي في الأشرفية".

وميلاد كفوري هو احد معارف سماحة، وقد وشى به الى القوى الامنية قبل ان يغادر البلاد.

وطلب القرار الاتهامي الصادر بحق مملوك وسماحة في 20 شباط 2013 عقوبة الاعدام للمتهمين. واصدر القضاء مذكرة توقيف غيابية في حق مملوك.

واقر سماحة الذي استجوبته المحكمة العسكرية للمرة الأولى بعد سنتين وتسعة اشهر على توقيفه، ان الهدف من التخطيط لتنفيذ تفجيرات على الحدود كان اقفالها نهائيا وبالتالي وقف عبور المقاتلين، في اشارة الى تقارير عن مقاتلين سنة يتوجهون من الشمال للقتال الى جانب قوات المعارضة ضد النظام السوري.

وقال سماحة انه تعرض "لاستدراج وضغط"، مضيفا "وقعت في فخ نصبه لي ميلاد كفوري المرتبط بجهاز مخابرات".

وذكرت وكيلة الدفاع عن سماحة المحامية رنا عازوري ردا على سؤال لوكالة "فرانس برس" ان موكلها "اوضح (للمحكمة) انه وقع في فخ نصبته له اجهزة المخابرات عبر عميل محرض هو ميلاد كفوري". 

واوضحت انه "وفقا للاجتهاد اللبناني ان التصرف بضغط من محرض قد يلقى اسبابا تخفيفية (...) مثل مسالة الدفاع المشروع عن النفس".   

ولدى سؤاله في المحكمة عن الهدف من التخطيط لاغتيالات وتفجيرات في شمال لبنان بينها محاولة اغتيال النائب خالد الضاهر، اجاب "كنت اسمع على المنابر تحديا للدولة وشتم للجيش وايقاظ الغرائز ولا احد يلاحق".

واضاف "صحيح اخطأت لكن كنت اريد تجنب فتنة طائفية".

وسماحة وزير ونائب سابق. وكان قبل توقيفه مستشارا للرئيس السوري. وكان يمضي جزءا كبيرا من وقته في دمشق. 

وأرجأت المحكمة جلسة المحاكمة الى 13 أيار المقبل للإستماع الى إفادة مرافق سماحة فارس مبارك بصفة شاهد. 

كما حددت 16 تشرين الأول المقبل موعدا لمحاكمة مملوك الذي تعذر ابلاغه حتى الآن بمواعيد المحاكة، ما دفع المحكمة اخيرا الى فصل ملفه عن ملف سماحة لضمان سير محاكمة الاخير.

This is the mudus operandi of the M8 people. Kill, assassinate, blow up, etc. Glad he confessed. Now, let him sing about all the other traitors, starting with Hassan Banadoura.

due to the fact the explosives carried by samaha from syria are of the same type of explosives that were used against may chidiac, george haoui, and others, it is now confirmed that the syrian regime was responsible for these explosions too.

the bombs were ready and prepared each with a magnet and their electronic receiver.
so again, it is the same type of bombs that are stuck to metal and triggered with a remote control. :)

hope you understand now :)

This criminal was Assad's personal advisor and his spokesman to the Vatican and Europe. We all recall how he and his cell were distributing at that time in the north of Lebanon leaflets threatening Christians and burning of churches. His (Assad) plan was to assassinate the Batrak and the Mufti of Tripoli among others.

"during the ISraeli aggression on Lebanon, the people of Lebanon and the Lebanese resistance was betrayed and the next president will do the right job."

You're right about being betrayed,we were betrayed by whoever gave the orders to kidnap the israelies and ambush them. "if I knew they would do this I would have never done that" doesn't cut it. Solution to our problem: Dismantel your mini state and go back to being normal Lebanese citizens we don't need you to "defend" anything we have an army for that.

Samaha..... Please explain while Jamil al Sayyed was in the car with you as you transported the explosives to kill M14 officials???

Did Jamil's car break down?
Was he hitch-hiking?
Car-pooling to save money?
Just out for a joy-ride while listening to Tupac and Snoop?
Cruising for chicks?

For you Assad lovers, Roar, FT, Mowaten, Southern, Mystic. .

This is the project of the Assad clan to Lebanon. Is this what you want for our country? Do you still support the Assad criminal.

Please dont talk to me about ISIS. ISIS will be a bad memory in 2 years. Let us talk about long term issues. Assad's hegemony.

No excuses for anyone..

But what is most disturbing is the fact I noticed you who proclaims to be a Christian living in the ME...never post regarding the slaughter of innocent Christians..

There's an article right now on naharnet about this,,,yet you're nowhere to be seen....can you tell us why?

What is disturbing is that everytime there is something conclusive against hezbos/march8/assad u try to divert the subject....
Well magnificant roar come back home, we need u to protect us with the help of our great local iranian millicia, the fact that a shiite lebanese millicia is batteling under the flag of ya hussein in syria/iral/maybe yemen and god knows where is alreaddy great for christian and all lebanese, having u with us here would be even greatter...

eroar maybe it's because people know that anytime pressure mounts on the Syrian or Iranian regimes IS does something criminally dramatic to affect the headlines. An old trick the Syrian regime used during the occupation every time the exiled Aoun had a TV interview south lebanon flared up. Most of next day's headlines in the Lebanese press were about the flare up in the south rather that what Aoun said.

Thumb justin 17:33 ,2015 نيسان 20

Why stop at just those:
when will nassrallah be tried and executed for his crimes against the lebanese, syrian, iraqi, and yemeni people?
when will basil and aoun be tried and executed for their embezzlement, treachery, and theft of our resources?

Roar. Of course I am very sad about the slaughter of innocent ethiopian christians. As i cared about yazidis slaugter or about sunni slaughter. I dont comment about it because everyone agrees that ISIS is a criminal gang that needs to be eradicated. No point in debating such an obvious point, we are all on the same side on this point.

However, I am flabergasted that such patriots who otherwize love lebanon, like mowaten say, would not be appalled at the syrian regime SYSTEMATIC plan to screw lebanon. Assad has a project manager whose job description is solely "F... Lebanon" !!!

You dont get it. i dont care about disciplining the pawns and throwing blames. I care about finding the root cause of our problem. Samaha doesnt matter. He is a pawn. He can be replaced easily.

What matters is the side behind him, the assad clan, who will send 100 samahas, who is doing everything in its power to destabilize lebanon. How can Lebanon ever dream of becoming stable with a malevolent power so intent to destroy us??

Thumb the_roar 18:58 ,2015 نيسان 20

LF, You have a hatred for Assad & many Lebanese would have no problem with your views, considering Syria's history in Lebanon etc.

But people like Mowaten prefer Assad at this moment than this horrific tentacles branching out from KSA..IS-Nusra-qaida-boko haram etc etc.

I tend to agree with Mowayen as do many many all around the world..

Well assad played the islamist card many time: chaker el abssi, islamist sent to irak (aka nouri el malaki in 2009), the liberation of lokman and nearely 500 islamists from its jail after the uprising in syria and now the plot with smaha to pull shit on lebanon.. Thos only to say the obvious related by moumana3a news channels.. So between a dictator using islamists, creating cahos, illuminated da3ech and the other da3ech woth a shiite flavor (aka faylak badder, abou fadel al abbas, ansorallah, hezbollah...) i chose none magnificent roar...

Samaha was close to Assef Shawkat who was killed in July 2012.
In August 2012, Mamlouk sent Samaha to Lebanon with explosives and he is caught and arrested.
Samaha is guilty and should pay for his terrorist intentions, unless he has valuable information relating to past assassinations where Syrians and other groups were involved.

Thumb Machia 15:28 ,2015 نيسان 20

Apparently both Samaha and Shawkat were close to French intelligence.

And Shawkat's wife, Bashar's sister, left to Dubai for a while and there were reports that said that she accused her brothers of killing Shawkat.

Samaha pleaded guilty for carrying the bombs only! He did not plead guilty for the planning of assassinations. He said he carried the bombs to destroy the illegal tunnels that was allowing Syrians to enter lebanon, and to transfer arms to Syria and Lebanon, vice versa.
This article is a joke and a lie.
