Wahhab Denies Lebanese Suspect behind his Assassination Attempt
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Tawhid Movement leader Wiam Wahhab denied on Tuesday that a Lebanese man was behind an alleged assassination attempt against him.
“I will not accuse anyone until I make sure,” Wahhab told al-Jadeed channel.
He warned that he will have a harsh stance once he knows who is behind the attempt on his life, pointing out that he is holding the suspect captive and will hand him over to the security agencies.
“He is not Lebanese and the person who recruited him belongs to a political party,” Wahhad said.
Earlier on Tuesday, al-Akhbar quoted Wahhab as saying that the suspect is Lebanese and confessed that he had received a sum of money from a political party in Lebanon to assassinate him.
The Druze leader said that the suspect opened fire at his convoy in Syria so that “not to raise any suspicions” on the side that paid him if the assassination happened in Lebanon.
Wahhab vowed to hand over all the information he has to the Lebanese security agencies soon, reiterating his trust in the judicial system.
He ruled out that al-Mustaqbal movement is behind the attempt on his life.
Security sources told the daily that Wahhab informed the competent authorities that the suspect is detained, without revealing who is behind the arrest or where his location is.
The source quoted Wahhab as saying that the suspect confessed that a senior official in the Progressive Socialist Party recruited him to assassinate the Tawhid leader and to carry out the operation in Syria to mislead the investigations.
However, the source stressed that in case Wahhab’s allegations are true, an endeavor like this happens without PSP leader MP Walid Jumblat’s knowledge.

clearly you have no sense of what patriotism is :)
especially when you are a traitor yourself. so stop accusing others of what you are.
your treason is well documented daily, boot lickers to the syro/iranians.

The last two assassination attempts against M14 leaders had failed. Hizballah is trying desperatly to weaken M14 by any means including assassination.
This so called assssination attempt, in Syria, against this law life Wahhab and accusing the PSP, is nothing but an attempt to weaken the Druze. With the Druze weak, Hizballah can continue controlling the government and enjoying a fake majority.
The attempt on Boutros HArb was supposed to be a goft from Hizballah to Aoun to boost Gibran Bassil's chances to win in the next elections. Hizballah also sent a team of "Manar Reporters" to videotape the street PM Zahra lives on. Those "reporters" claimed that they were reporting about the pollution in the Zouq power plant. Zahra is now living in Maarab to protect himself from assassination by Hizballah.

If this happened in Syria and the guy was caught in Syria, why does this idiot want to involve the Lebanese authorities ? He doesn't even believe in Lebanon.
This supposed "assassin" should be tried in Syria ...
+ Why the hell is Wahab keeping him in custody ?
If true, this is completely illegal ... he's basically incriminating himself with:
- kidnapping a human being,
- holding him against his will,
- interrogating him with god knows what methods ...
If true, then Wahhab should be put on trial for a self confessed crime he carried out.
If false, then Wahhab should be put on trial for being a liar and attempting to create civil strife ...
+ Why would anyone on earth try to assassinate someone as insignificant as him ? He is barely a threat to cockroaches ...

Geha, what makes you think that those you support are patriots? isn't it enough that their bank accounts are enough proof that they aren't? there are maybe very few politicians that are somehow patriots but none of these you are all trying here to debate and support are !!!! I must say that but this "ignorance" that you all have, makes them richer and stronger, Thank God that i ain't like one of you here a number or a follower, a lot of Lebanese like me living abroad are sick and tired from your ignorance.

Does anyone know the story of Berezovski, the Russian oligarch mafioso who hired a team of pseudo-assassins to conduct a mock-assassination attempt on him in order to gain political and popular support? Wahhab is not the first, nor will he be the last collaborationist with a home-based terrorist team (in this case, Hizb-al-Suffa7) to try this stunt. Sorry, until you're actually dead, I'm not impressed. This applies equally to Geagea and other so-called "Lebanese politicians" who failed to get themselves properly killed... Here's for a new Lebanon whose politicians are pro-Lebanon, rather than being pro- or anti-Syrian!

Folks who continue to steer the debate away from the weapons of terror in the hands of the Party of God, think they are so clever pointing out we are allied with the west and proud of it. The difference between us is that even when we are in power/government we can't implement our political agenda for fear of death at the hand of the Party while in stark contrast, the Party does what it wants, when it wants and at gunpoint when needed. Ya 3eib on the people who cannot admit that they are forcing us against our will at gunpoint. Shamato finna la2ilkon, laka yawm ya zalem. Your day will come…eventually.
