Jumblat: I am Worried about the Frightening Internal Tension, Ahmadinejad's Visit is Beneficial

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat voiced on Saturday his concern with the "frightening" tensions in Lebanon, calling all sides to be diligent in realizing its dangers.

Commenting on the U.N.'s recent remarks on the false witnesses, he told As Safir Saturday: "This is a local issue, the details of which should be uncovered."

Opportunities to end tensions in Lebanon are still available "and if I say that there are no positive signs so far, that does not mean that there are negative ones," the MP stated.

Addressing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to Lebanon, Jumblat said: "It represents clear support for the Resistance and it is beneficial to maintain contacts with him."
