Report: Aoun Indirectly Condemned Hizbullah in Tweet over Port Blast Probe

High-level sources from the March 8 alliance considered President Michel Aoun’s tweet as an indirect accusation to Hizbullah over the Beirut port blast, Nidaa al-Watan newspaper said Thursday.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri responded to the tweet that targeted the Shiite duo and indirectly "incriminated" Hizbullah as well, the newspaper said.

“Innocents do not fear the judiciary,” Aoun said.

“The judiciary should not be the judiciary of those in power,” Berri swiftly responded.

Nidaa al-Watan expected a firm and quick response from Hizbullah.

Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah might directly respond to Aoun’s stance in a speech he will deliver today, Thursday, on the occasion of Hizbullah Martyr’s Day, the newspaper said.
