Nasrallah: State Not Lifting a Finger to Stop Networks from Planting Booby-Trapped Cars in Lebanon

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah criticized on Monday the state for failing to address the networks that are planting booby-trapped cars in Lebanon.

He said: “The state is aware of the activity of these networks, but is not lifting a finger to stop them.”

He made his remarks during a speech marking the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Great Prophet Hospital.

“The state is aware of the various security threats in Lebanon and it cannot be selective in tackling them,” he added.

Nasrallah therefore demanded that the caretaker government convene in order to address security threats, saying: “It should not convene only after an explosion takes place. These issues cannot be postponed.”

Addressing the clashes in the northern city of Tripoli, the Hizbullah chief urged the cabinet to take a “firm decision” to put an end to the instability in the city.

“The army and security forces should take over control in Tripoli and the people should provide them with the necessary support while they perform their duties,” he continued.

Commenting on the political deadlock in Lebanon and failure to form a new government, Nasrallah accused the March 14 camp of only prolonging the impasse by imposing various conditions on forming a cabinet.

He noted that the camp was and is still banking on the developments in Syria in order to take any political decision in this matter, saying that such actions will only maintain the deadlock.

“Doesn't ending the deadlock require some sacrifices? We won't present any sacrifices as we have already presented enough of them,” declared Nasrallah.

He therefore suggested that the March 14 camp “exercise some humility” and accept the formation of a cabinet that grants nine ministers to itself and the March 8 camp, while the remaining six be granted to centrists.

“We have exercised humility by accepting this formula seeing as nine ministers is less than what we deserve given our political weight,” he remarked.

Since his appointment in April, Prime Minister-designate Tammam Salam has faced conditions and counter-conditions from the rival March 8 and 14 camps over the formation of a new government.

Furthermore, Nasrallah stressed the need for the caretaker government to convene in order to tackle the oil file and in order to order the army and security forces to take control of Tripoli.

He stated however that caretaker Prime Minister Najib Miqati is being pressured by Saudi Arabia and the March 14 camp against calling cabinet to session.

On the recent release of the Lebanese pilgrims who were held in Syria's Aazaz region, he congratulated them on their safe return to Beirut, hoping that this development would pave the way for resolving the case of Lebanese held in Israel and Syria and who have gone missing over the past two years or since the Lebanese civil war.

He therefore suggested that mechanisms be set in place to tackle these issues.

“A state that respects itself will address these humanitarian affairs,” Nasrallah said.

He revealed: “I have received word from Syria that it is willing to help resolve the cases of missing persons and we hope these efforts will yield happy endings.”

Nine Lebanese pilgrims, who were kidnapped and held in Syria since 2011, were released some two weeks ago and they returned to Lebanon on October 19.

Turning to the crisis in Syria, Nasrallah said: “The recent developments in Syria have helped us realize that there can only be a political solution, not a military one, to the unrest.”

“All concerned sides should approach dialogue in Syria without preconditions,” he demanded, while accusing Saudi Arabia of resorting to “all means” to topple the Syrian regime.

“Obstructing the political solution in Syria will lead to more death and destruction and negative repercussions on Lebanon and all other countries neighboring Syria,” he warned.

Yislam Timmak Ya Sayyed Al Moqawalwh for these words of wisdom and truth. Alona and I were in tears during the whole speech. It was very emotional to see your face after such a long absence. Beloved Sayyed: Alona and I are soldiers in your army and we sacrifice our lives for you. You speak like a world leader, you wave your finger better than Benito Mussolini, your analysis of world events specially in Syria was overwhelming, your piercing eyes captivate us, your voice is soothing like honey. Sayyed you are the honey in my Atayyef, you are the jam in my jelly roll, you are the apple of my eye. God bless you and give you many seeds.

I don't think that there will ever be a way that we can coexist with Hizbollah and their allies. I hope that people will soon start arguing for partition rather than keeping Lebanon as one country. I am a huge supporter of Bachir Gemayel, I think he was the only hope for Lebanon, but unfortunately his famous "10,452" no longer holds true. We have two polarizing poles of the spectrum, neither side is willing to negotiate with the other and the country is falling apart. The people are as dumb as rocks following those leaders, but unfortunately this is the situation we are in. The only hope for whatever is left of Lebanon is to split.

Thumb joeleb 28 October 2013, 19:26

I agree, all the generations since the "civil" war are polarized and will never ever agree...partition is our only option and hope to live peacefully and plan and work on a future that we can aspire to provide to our children

"State Not Lifting a Finger to Stop Networks from Planting Booby-Trapped Cars in Lebanon"... it is your brother Assad who is sending the car bombs, you miserable terrorist.

One of the most pathetic speeches ever made by the Iranian thug. The state should not be selective, but it lets Hezbulluh do what ever it wants... "camp was and is still banking on the developments in Syria", you have openly declared war in Syria on the side of Assad and it is Hizbullah & the Ayatollah who link their survival to Assad's... worts of all to bring up the fate of all the missing Lebanese that have been murdered or imprison by your Axis partner Assad when you have never lifted a finger to help them shows what a lying hypocrite you are.

Nasrallah, this for your benefit three examples of the state lifting fingers to stop networks from Planting Booby-Trapped Cars in Lebanon.. btw I'm lifting a finger right now, can you guess which one?

"14 Charged with Car Bomb Plots, Including One in Maamoura"
"Lebanese military prosecutors charged 7 men with strong ties to the Syrian government’s intelligence services in Tripoli double car bombing"
"Michel Samaha Arrested, Confesses to Plotting Bombings in North"

however and unfortunately a couple of guys did complain and threatened the state for actually lifting a finger

Reading into his speech suggests that HA has lost considerable ground, and Hassan is clutching at straws to redeem lost territory. HA has crossed the line and Hassan knows full well that there is no room for reconciliation. Saad offered him a deal and in return he will forgive and forget, but Hassan foolishly refused and instead continued removing obstacles from his path in the hope that there would be no one left to answer to. The tribunal is nearing HA and his Aouni do... are in fix. If the M14 camp had any dignity thay would stand their ground and refuse to have anything to do with HA, let alone form a government with them.

I started reading some of the comments listed and found them to be so inflammatory and hateful.
All this hate is so thoughtless.. A couple of questions I want to ask you all
1. you can scream and insult all you want, the question is are you changing anything?
2. can you ever dream of being a leader in this country, without being from a certain family / sect / lineage? How empowered are you?
3. why is it that we keep voting for the same leaders?
4. do we really deserve a country? have we earned it? Do we respect the rule of law? Do we respect other sects? do we even respect individuals? Do we treat our housekeepers like human beings?
5. how come that our opinions change based on our leaders when it should be that our opinions need to change our leaders?
You are not empowered and cant change anything. All these politician dont care about you, dont care if you have jobs, dont care if you have healthcare. Just my two cents.

Missing formerlebaniz 29 October 2013, 03:52

Let me get this straight Mr. Nasrallah,

You want to involve your youth to fight and die against someone fighting for their freedom in their OWN country, and in the meantime you want our youth and army to protect you against the retaliation of these people in your own country?

To sum it up you will go kill Sunni's ruthlessly in Syria (seen the videos), but you want the Lebanese Sunni's, Christians, Druze in Lebanon to protect your people against the Syrian Sunni's retaliating against you?

Your likes should have a hell dedicated for them.
