Hizbullah Refutes Claims of Syrian Plot to Assassinate Samaha

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Hizbullah rejected on Friday media reports that said Syria was seeking to assassinate detained former minister Michel Samaha.

It said in a statement: “Such claims are baseless accusations that do not rely on facts.”

It added that it reserves the right to take legal action in the matter.

Saudi Arabia's al-Watan daily had reported on Tuesday that “Damascus had emphasized to Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah the need to eliminate Samaha, who was indicted with attempting to transport explosives from Syria to use them in criminal acts in Lebanon.”

Police had thwarted a plot to kill the former pro-Syrian information minister.

The military prosecutor had recently granted Samaha the right to be transferred to hospital for medical reasons, but he later lifted his decision under the orders of General Prosecutor Judge Samir Hammoud and Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi.

Both Hammoud and Rifi interfered in the case after security forces received information that Samaha could be killed during the transfer for having dangerous information on the Syrian regime.

Rifi had confirmed the assassination plot on Tuesday.

Samaha and two Syrian officials have been indicted for transporting explosives from Syria to Lebanon in an attempt to assassinate Lebanese political and religious leaders.

His trial has been adjourned on several occasions over the failure to summon Syrian security chief General Ali Mamlouk.

all they have is the secret testimony of a shady agent they are keeping in the shadows...

if they have all that imagine, then what are they waiting for? why dont they judge and sentence him?
or maybe there is more to this story than they want to reveal?

Thumb _mowaten_ 20 February 2015, 15:48

What a logic ya imagine! He's important that they cannot put him on trial, but they can keep him in jail indefinitely on basis of a secret agent's testimony? This reminds me of the 4 generals, kept in jail for 4 years without charges and on basis of false testimonies, then suddenly released and told to just take it without complaining or asking for answers.

Thumb _mowaten_ 20 February 2015, 15:50

I never said samaha was innocent, but I never saw those tapes you mentionned either.
Since you often mention things as facts that you heard someone say exists without having seen it yourself, please, tell me if here you actually heard/saw these recordings yourself, and if yes please give me a link or something where I can see them too

Your answer may impress someone with limited mental abilities, but i see clearly through it, you're doing nothing but evading. The only "ba3sa" that terrorist fantasizes about would be for you to provide me with a link of these recordings. Be my guest.

A lot of words, a lot of fidgeting around, but still nothing to back your claims. At this rate I'm going to start thinking your claims are, once more, just the fruit of your imagination and hateful bias.

samaha was sent to carry out the same strategy syria and hezbollah always used: put oil on the fire.
he was sent to place bombs in akkar villages and make sunnis responsible of it... then hezbis and M8ers would say as usual that akkar is a haven for sunni extremists! LOL

Hezbullah has no motive to assassinate these incompetent officials and politicians. Their activity is the best argument for the need to remove sectarianism from the law and replace it with civil rights and majority rule.

LMFAO....mowaten i had to give it to you ...the best joke of the millenium..hallak according to your article ( that talks about FACTS that the main stream media does not address) is that FRANCE framed samaha and planted the explosives in his car because of his opposition to the french policies in regards of the syrian regime and conflicts...HAHAHAHAH jaydeih jiddan wa isteiz!!!!

This case eerily reminds us of the assassination of Muamar Al Ghadaffi. With him died all the information he had on many world leaders. Could Samaha know too much and on people who hold the highest offices in the land and its neighbors? Let's hope that more light is shed on the matter.

samaha was caught red handed, i.e. the explosives were in his car.

so please stop your BS m8 guys.

Thumb _mowaten_ 20 February 2015, 14:03

if he transported explosives let him be judged for it, and let us know who the agent who manipulated him into doing it really is.

Missing imagine_1979 20 February 2015, 15:46

So that the zionist enemy assassinates him (like they assassinated hariri kassir hawi...
And the recorded conversations???
Man please get a life, anyway he wont be judged, no one will, and even if he or any of them get assassinated their heir will take over, so relax mowaten we'll still be living in our the old lebanon, lebanese style

Missing imagine_1979 20 February 2015, 18:25

With conversation plotting for bombing? With bombs found in his possetion? Yes maybe it would be enough to put him for trial... Now, again knowing that the official reason why he didnot went to trial is that liban post could not reach mamlouk, maybe next time general ibrahim held official public mediatised meetting with mamlouk maybe he can inform him so trial can beggin....

These accusations are the same as the ones from various people on Naharnet. Baseless and without facts.

If he did transport explosives he should be judged and sentenced for it, agreed. But before you speak of executions or whatever he needs to be found guilty, this is not ISISstan where people are executed on the first allegation yelled by a goat-herder.
Also, if we're going to execute someone for transporting explosives, then what should the sentence be for those who throw grenades and fire RPGs on our soldiers? What about those found with explosives in their mosques (remember assir? and now deqmaq?)

I think the explosive were placed in his car by an Israeli agent for the purpose of implicating HA and Bashar. Wake up people, M14 folks lack the gift of critical thinking.

No hezbos never assassinated anyone, they never turned their weapons agains lebanese before 7may incident, sayed hassan said so, do u implement he was lying?....
And anyway if they found bombs with smaha it must be israel who has put them there, after assassinating bashar al assad oponents in lebanon israel is trying to confuse us don't u see, it is pure logic...
By the way if general ibrahim tells mamlouk to pass by so we can start smaha trial next time he decides to see him and take pics maybe it will fasten the things a little, no?...

Missing imagine_1979 20 February 2015, 18:30

Israel nearly killed them all... Afte that hezbos would get borred and throw their weapons...Indeed very smart strategy and more credible than syrian regime and co assassinated them all after 1559 after a large lebanese political front asks for syrian army withdrawall, yess indeed the isarel killed them all is more credible....

Of course they are the ones in charge of misinformation and manufacturing facts, so how does anyone dare to question "facts" before checking with their department.
