Opposition to Debrief Cabinet, Meet Syrian NTC
The March 14-led opposition wants to debrief the cabinet and Prime Minister Najib Miqati over the “security scandal” in Lebanon, An Nahar newspaper reported on Thursday.
The report said that this “scandal” includes the kidnapping of Syrian opposition figures in Lebanon and the “security and media ban the security forces imposed on the northern Lebanese area of Wadi Khaled” near Syria.
Opposition sources told the daily that the “scandal” will be mentioned during the inquiry session that Speaker Nabih Berri announced will be held next Wednesday.
They said that a delegation that includes current and previous opposition MPs and ministers will head to Wadi Khaled soon to hold a press conference there.
The sources noted that the opposition is also seeking to hold a meeting with a delegation from the Syrian National Transitional Council in Beirut or send a delegation from the March 14 forces to Istanbul to meet with it.
According to media reports, Syrian troops had planted mines along a region bordering the town of Wadi Khaled.
Thousands of Syrians have fled to Lebanon in recent months, often using illegal border crossings, to flee the unrest gripping their country.
