Hariri Contacts Suleiman, Qahwaji, Warns Akkar Residents against Falling for 'Syrian Schemes'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri condemned on Sunday the murder of Sheikh Ahmed Abdul Wahed, demanding that an “immediate investigation be launched in the matter.”
He said in a statement: “We warn the residents of Akkar against committing any retaliatory act that would create chaos in their region as it is clear that there is a plan to target the area for Syrian interests.”
The former premier also contacted President Michel Suleiman and Army Commander General Jean Qahwaji, demanding that those responsible for the crime, “no matter their position,” should be held accountable for their action.
He also contacted Abdul Wahed’s family to condemn the death.
“We do not hold the whole army responsible for the crime seeing at is a national military institution that has long stood by the residents of Akkar, who are also major members of the establishment,” Hariri noted.
It is clear however that some external sides are seeking to exploit the army to spread the Syrian crisis to Lebanon, he added.
“The Mustaqbal Movement and parliamentary bloc will not halt their demand to bring those responsible to justice,” he stressed.
Hariri also urged the residents of Akkar to exercise restraint and avoid getting “dragged into strife.”
Abdul Wahed and his companion were killed on Sunday in a shooting at an army checkpoint as they were heading to a rally by Mustaqbal MP Khaled al-Daher in the northern town of Halba.
The death has sparked outrage in the North as residents blocked various roads with Prime Minister Najib Miqati and the Army Command announcing that investigation committees have been formed to look into the case.

Hariri should be condemning the fact that this Sheikh did not stop at a military checkpoint demonstrating a total lack of respect for the national and patriotic establishment. Either way the Army doesn't give 2 "shoots" about Hariri and his comments. The Army committed no crime. It was the sheikh and his armed convoy who are the crimials and have been charged the death penalty and whoever wants to test or try the army the same will happen to them just as Naher EL Bared.

What are the results of Ja3Ja3 investigation? What are the results of catching the suspects of assassinating Mustapha Geha? What are the results of catching the 4 suspects killing Harriri? We are so brave at catching every anti-syrian because the security system left by Ghazi ken3an and Rustom Ghazali is cancerous.

We catch nothing ya cedars. Ba3ba3 scenario is an obvious mascarade. He is funnier and more entertaining alive, noone would want to kill him...
Again akhouna saad is talking about 'murder' when actually it could be simply 'job' from the army against someone who was not ready to cooperate. Probably hiding weapons? :)
wayno slash? ;)

Reformist, don't listen to Slash, the Lebanese forces always change the subject when they can't defend themselves in an argument. I also believe that the sheik Allah yer7amo was smuggling weapons. Slash, how can you defend the a sheik who supports weapons and killings?

Listen to these shia hypocrites. Their bashar has murdered over 10 000 and only God knows how many that have been tortured - before and after the uprising- yet they have the nerve to talk about a man they know nothing about. Even if he was smuggling weapons, that still wouldnt make him even 0,000000001 % as evil as your bashar murderer or his puppets.

All these incidents , either planned or not, will serve the enemies of Lebanon if they develop into more sectarian street fights.
The flare ups in lebanon could be used by the agonzing Syrian regime as a proof of its claims that extremists Sunnis are what the opposition is made off.

Agreed youssef... At least partly! Extremists are there and I am not sure el ekhwan as ba3ba3 refers to them are a better option. It doesn't mean that the syrian regime doesn't need reforms :)

it does not need 'reforms', it needs destruction. The regime is dead and we are living the long agonizing details.

The failure of the west to intervene and stop the genocide will surely create fundametnalism. If you subject the people oklahoma or texas for example to 15 months of genocide, torture and so forth then fundamentalist christians will surface. YOu should focus on the root of evil and the source of the disaster here: the regime.

stupidity after stupidity qhile the country is on the verge of civil wr.
just looking at some comments shows how m8 guys are so low t be happy with the upcoming civil war they are creting in favor of their syrian patron

by supporting a murderous regime that harmed lebanon more than israel ever did, M8 will bring lebanon into civil war because bashar will not fall without asking his lebanese dogs to create chaos to divert the attention here... like any mad tyrant ready to bring down his country if he falls... that is the kind of regime M8 is so proud of....and you with them

Bashar would love a Civil War in Lebanon... it only services the baath's intresests...He needs that complication.

.... p.s. it would be Hizbshitan's chance to finish off all its opponents from the May7 event... BUT lets hope to God Civil War does NOT happen... but if Hizbshitan tries what it loves to do (MURDER people) then they have a surprise waiting for them this time around.... Really sad for all of us really really sad....

Enlighten me ya lebcan, what is this "surprise" you keep referring to, do you have a secret weapon hidden underground powered by laser beams or could it be the "Enterprise"? I suggest you get your head out of the sand and face facts, if ever God forbid there's a Civil war you and your m14 kind would be annihilated in weeks, thats facts and i'm no Hizb supporter or any other party supporter, You truly are suicidal! just like the tires you keep on burning which would only affect your lungs and your grandmas life would be cut to half lifespan cause she breathed that toxic fume you so well lit near your homes, you are a plague to this country.

the syrian scenario of igniting akkar to justify its army intervention has begun... with the benediction of M8...
20 May 2012, 18:47

Ayya benediction m8? Mesh into guys you love justice? Wait for the investigation instead of putting oil on fire :)

i am not commenting the investigation but about the fact that syria recently is trying to throw the blame on what s happening in syria on the lebanese opposition! they are manipulating people s opinion (like yours it seems you ve fallen into their propaganda!!!)
they are playing with fire just to invade akkar with their army, and that is what M8 dreams of...
21 May 2012, 03:43

FT I would say exactly what you said BUT i would replace the M14 with M8 in your comments... which would reflect reality...

Does it ever occur to you that the investigation(s) will never end due to the fact that more rapid assassinations, killings and igniting more fire (Catch, shoot and assassinate any 1% suspicious of anti-Syrians) will occur daily or weekly by the same members taking orders from Bashar.
As soon as Mawlawi was caught Ja3far writes to the UN that Lebanon is the source of every evil to defend his Gov incompetency? was this planned or planned scenario?

I think the real enemy is looking at all your conversations and laughing his brains out..he's probably saying..look at them lebanese, they never learn..they still follow their M8 and M14 leaders and are ready to die for them. However, their leaders once threatened, take their international passports, their private jets and say bye bye to the poor followers. yalla keep fighting, bravo, 3ala 2ases if M8 take over the country, M14 will tell them Mabrouk and will leave or vise versa..co-existence. once you understand that, all of you. you'll have a country. otherwise ra7 ndal zreebe, mwaf2een ya shabe
