Hariri Source Slams Nasrallah over Security Situation and Syria
A source close to former Premier Saad Hariri slammed Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah for saying that the security situation in Lebanon was stable at the time when several kidnappings have taken place.
The al-Mustaqbal movement source told pan-Arab daily al-Hayat that Nasrallah talked in his TV interview on Monday at a time when Syrian opposition activists are being kidnapped, Hizbullah is expanding its telecom network in the town of Tarshish and the Syrian army is infiltrating in Lebanese territories in the Bekaa and North.
The source also criticized the Hizbullah leader for praising the cabinet for its achievements, saying the accomplishments that Nasrallah talked about are not real.
“They are just projects that haven’t been implemented yet, including the electricity (plan) which requires legislations and decrees,” he told al-Hayat.
On the situation in Syria, the source expressed regret that Nasrallah “ignored many facts and defended the Assad regime in a way that he linked his interest and fate to the fate of this regime.”
“At a time when international, Arab and Islamic calls are being made for the regime to withdraw the army and security agencies from the streets and end the fighting, he (Nasrallah) is asking the people to get off the street,” the source said.
“Where is Lebanon’s interest in this bias?” he wondered.
Nasrallah told al-Manar TV that the Syrian regime is largely "out of the danger zone" despite a 7-month-old uprising against President Bashar Assad.
