تبرئة ثلاثة أعضاء مفترضين في حزب الله من تهم ارهاب في نيجيريا
Read this story in Englishبرأت المحكمة الفدرالية العليا في نيجيريا ثلاثة مواطنين لبنانيين يشتبه في انهم اعضاء في حزب الله من تهمة الارهاب، الا انها حكمت على احدهم بالسجن المؤبد بتهمة ادخال اسلحة الى البلاد.
وكان اللبنانيون مصطفى فواز وعبد الله التهيني وطلال رضا اعتقلوا في ايار الماضي بعد العثور على اسلحة في مسكن في مدينة كانو شمال نيجيريا.
واتهم الثلاثة بالتخطيط لشن هجمات ضد اهداف غربية واسرائيلية في نيجيريا، الا انهم نفوا تلك التهم.
وقال قاضي المحكمة ادينيي اديتوكونبو اديمولا ان حزب الله "لا يعتبر منظمة ارهابية دولية في نيجيريا" وبالتالي فان الانتماء اليه ليس عملا اجراميا.
واضاف انه لا توجد ادلة على ان المتهمين الثلاثة كانوا يخططون لشن هجوم او انهم تلقوا "تدريبا على الارهاب" كما ادعت النيابة.
كما برأت المحكمة المتهمين الثلاثة من تهمة غسل الاموال.
الا ان رضا دين بالتامر وادخال اسلحة الى البلاد وحكم عليه بالسجن المؤبد.
وصرح احمد راجي محامي الدفاع عن المتهمين الثلاثة للصحافيين بعد الجلسة "نحن سعداء بالحكم ولكننا غير مرتاحين بالنسبة للحكم على المتهم الثالث (رضا)".
واضاف ان "الاهم هو ان الجانب الاخطر من التهم وهو الارهاب قد اسقط".
واوضح راجي انه سيتشاور مع رضا حول التقدم بطعن في الحكم ضده مضيفا "اعتقد ان الامر يستحق التقدم بطعن".
وشهدت المحاكمة عدة تطورات مفاجئة من بينها شهادة لرضا بان خلية متطرفة في نيجيريا خططت لاغتيال السفير السعودي في هذا البلد.
وفي اب الماضي، قال فواز ان عناصر من الامن الاسرائيلي قاموا بالتحقيق معه بعد اعتقاله.
واضاف ان التحقيق اجراه "ستة من عناصر الموساد الاسرائيلي ورجل ابيض ملثم" ابدوا قلقهم بشكل رئيسي بشان علاقاته المحتملة في لبنان، وطالبوه بتفاصيل عن اماكن تخزين الاسلحة في بلاده.
وقال التهيني انه انهار بعد ان حرم من النوم خمسة ايام في تحقيق مماثل قام به عناصر اسرائيليون مفترضون.
واعربت اسرائيل عن مخاوفها من احتمال قيام اعضاء من حزب الله بالتخطيط لهجمات في غرب افريقيا بعد اعتقال تلك المجموعة.
ويمتلك فواز متنزه العاب ناجحا في العاصمة ابوجا اسمه "ووندرلاند" امرت المحكمة باعادة فتحه بعد الحكم.
وتم الافراج عن فواز والتهيني فورا، بينما تم اقتياد رضا موثق اليدين، بحسب مراسل وكالة فرانس برس في المحكمة.
وفي 30 ايار الماضي، عرض عناصر من الاستخبارات النيجيرية في كانو على الصحافيين مخزنا عثروا فيه على كمية كبيرة من الاسلحة.
ووصف باسي ايتانغ رئيس الاستخبارات في كانو المكان بانه "مخزن لاسلحة حزب الله"، ما اثار استغراب بعض المحللين.
وقال ايتانغ وقتها انه يجب اجراء تحقيق لكشف اي صلات محتملة بين "خلية حزب الله" وبوكو حرام، الجماعة الاسلامية المتشددة التي قتلت الالاف في شمال نيجيريا منذ 2009.
الا انه لم يسبق ان اثيرت مسالة وجود علاقة بين حزب الله وبوكو حرام، واعرب الخبراء عن شكوكهم القوية حيال وجود مثل هذه العلاقة.
ويعد حكم المحكمة ضربة جديدة لجهاز امن الدولة، الجهاز الاستخباراتي الرئيسي في البلاد، الذي قال في ايلول ان عناصر من جماعة بوكو حرام الاسلامية هاجموا جنودا امام مبنى حكومي في العاصمة ابوجا، الا ان الادلة اظهرت ان الاشتباك كان بين ضباط امن ومجموعة من المشردين الذين استولوا على عدد من المنازل. ونيجيريا هي اكبر الدول الافريقية من حيث عدد السكان ويعيش فيها عدد كبير من اللبنانيين.
Very good! Now if Hezbollah is innocent of Hariri's assassination they will be cleared at the Hague next year.
The Mossad was involved in making these charges in the first place.These guys were innocent.
What a load of ...... What about the huge cache of weapons they confiscated from these terrorists and were shown all over? Corruption at its best. Guilty Guilty Guilty
Take a look at the weapons they are almost 30 years old and useless.The house they rented is owned by an ex army general, and the weapons were buried deep underground.They have nothing to do with these weapons I can assure you.I was born there and I know.
lol theresistance :)
nuetral: thought the same, looks like some rusty WWII leftovers... i think the nigerian army just "found" it there and invited journalists for a very "candid" show...
phoenix i think your perception is a result of the massive propaganda campaign against HA.
clearly hezbollah says what it does and does what it says. when it decided to help border villages, it said it, when it intervened in qusayr, it was out in the open, when they took on the defense of sayida zaynab they clearly announced it, when they sent the ayyoub drone over israel they claimed it loud and clear, when they had martyrs they made the biggest funeral processions etc etc...
however in the mean time there are the most random accusations being constantly thrown against HA everyday, systematically pointing at some "hidden hand" acting in the shadows, playing on people's paranoia and imagination. and when people believe those (despite the lack of any sort of evidence) they have the impression that HA is hiding stuff.
seriously now, look at the picture above, what on earth would HA be doing with that pile of rusty tank shells!?!? and in nigeria of all place, like they dont even have tactical or strategic interests there! it make no sense whatsoever and the nigerians themselves ended up admitting they had no case. akel 7awa man!
Casper, I do not belong to any party,so to mention KSA or not does not interest me or my way of thinking.I am only stating what I know first hand.
@Southern : There is no Hezbollah Military Wing. Hassan himself said that !
Hezbollah once again is a Terrorist Jihadist Extremist Iranian organisation. You are incapable of proving me wrong and evade this statement everytime.
Hell, Hezbollah built it's popularity on Suicide Bombers. Isn't this what terrorists do ? You got a taste of your own poison (which is horrible for all the victims)...
And don't talk about INJUSTICE when you do not believe in LAW and JUSTICE other than Islamic law of hatred and death and mistreatment of women!
what is unjust is accusing HA of it, when there is no evidence besides the "circumstancial" hot air that the STL took 8 years to fabricate.
i cant believe anyone would believe a word the STL says, it is so clearly a political tool in the hands of the countries that are on israel's side (US, FRANCE, GERMANY, UK...) and therefore absolutely not neutral. you think big powers care about justice and truth? all they know is their own interests and they play the masses to get what they want, as they always did throughout history.
I prefer to take 8 years to build a case against Hezbollah rather than have people like Hezbollah "automatically" accuse Israel or anyone else without any investigation.
That's the difference between seriously handling a case and bullshit.
Without any proof, Iran accused Israel of being behind the embassy bombing when it was clear it is not the case.
And Hezbollah refuses to submit the "evidence they have" incriminating Israel in Hariri's murder. Why is that ?
There is no such thing as "fabricating" evidence. Not at this scale, and certainly not something "they" can get away with it. It is easy to demonstrate whether or not evidence is fabricated.
And please tell me why the first thing that happens after a bomb is "parties" going there to "destroy" evidence like in Hariri's killing ! This is Israel ???
@Mowaten : "there is no evidence besides the "circumstancial" hot air"
Do you even know what "circumstantial" mean ? Did you see the evidence before judging them to be "circumstantial" ?
Do you think the trials would have started if the evidence was only "circumstantial" ?
Do you deny Hezbollah had the "will", "motive", "means" to murder Hariri ?
In real trials, it can take up to 20 years to build a solid case against war crimes and such assassinations.
There is literally several TONS of evidence which you are more than welcome to discredit in court. This is exactly what a court is for.
If the court were in Lebanon, we would have a mass grave of judges like usual or payoffs. You wouldn't believe in the Lebanese court system anyway... Would you prefer to conduct the trial in Syria or Iran ?
@Sagh : when you break your alliance with Syria and Hezbollah and decide that you will no longer take orders from Bashar el Assad. And that you will no longer accept a paramilitary organisation in Lebanon.
You give every single motive for both to eliminate Harriri !
First Bashar threatens to break Lebanon on Hariri's head (for not accepting to extend Lahoud), then he orders his assassination.
Bashar ordered it, Iran approved it, Hezbollah executed it !
Give me Israels motive ! Show me your poorly imagined conspiracy theory ! Why would they eliminate their biggest indirect "ally" against hezbollah and make those stronger ? They know you cannot eliminate Hezbollah by "framing them". They cannot even eliminate them by force !
This is another blow to the March 14 cannibal terrorist propaganda machine who would love to eat Hizbollah warriors for dinner (the cannibals that they are). When this fabricated story came out, all the March 14 cannibals on this site began to drool. Poor darlings, the perseverance of Hizbollah will give all if you heart attacks very soon.
