Aoun: March 14 Luring Hizbullah to Use Weapons Against it

Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun has accused the March 14 forces of luring Hizbullah to use its arms against the coalition and its supporters.

“We hope this doesn’t take place. But if so, then they would have deserved it,” Aoun said during a dinner held by the FPM.

He said March 14 officials were resorting to inciting rhetoric to instigate Hizbullah into recreating another May 7 (2008) when the party’s fighters seized control of large swaths of Beirut's Muslim sector.

Aoun reiterated that March 14 was using the Special Tribunal for Lebanon to achieve political gains.

“We will fight the tribunal because it is being used for political gains,” the MP said.

“Those supporting it today are the same ones who were with Israel in its war against Lebanon,” he added.
