Internal Security Forces chief Major-General Ashraf Rifi threatened to resign should Intelligence Bureau director Wissam al-Hassan be transferred from his post.
Ad-Diyar newspaper reported on Friday that he “refuses to sign a memo to transfer Colonel Wissam al-Hassan.”
The daily said that Rifi will enter the political field in Tripoli after his resignation, adding that “he might become a candidate in the 2013 parliamentary elections.”
However, the newspaper continued: “Hassan will resign and become ex-Premier Saad Hariri’s security advisor.”
He may also “travel to Paris with his family like Lieutenant Samir Shehade former chief of the Intelligence Bureau who escaped an assassination attempt and traveled to Canada,” Ad-Diyar remarked.

People forget that they are mere employees! Who are you to decide who is suitable and not suitable for the job!

This nomination is under the Authority of the ISF General. Not under any other person. The politicians have no legal authority to interfere here.

I hear and read many comments from people about how much they hate or want Wissam Al Hassan to resign. These people are merely mirroring what their warlord leaders say and want coz the normal person on the street or the one that writes here stupid comments about the topic has no idea about the performance of this man or others in positions such as his. Invariably, all positions such as this are reserved for the various sects. I have never seen the ISF intelligence bureau close the airport road, raise arms against fellow Lebanese, smuggle, money launder, sell narcotics which others have done. His only mistake is he is of Harriri's political camp. That is why the Shiites and Aoun want him out, each for their own agenda. The unveiling of several Israeli cells is testimony to his performance! So, stop evaluating people based on ur religious bias and hatred.

Executive, high ranking holding National Secrets should be barred from leaving country. If not they will become tool of evil, they will sell National secrets for their ego.
