Enactment Of Hariri Assassination Amid Fingers Pointing At Hezbollah
July 21, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui
George Malbrunot, a journalist at the French newspaper Le Figaro has been lately pretty active on the trails of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL). In his blog, he wrote that he was informed by a police source that the explosion that killed the Lebanese Premier will be reproduced in a French military base south of Bordeau.
Malbrunot has also been keenly interested in Hezbollah’s relationship with the STL
Des écoutes téléphoniques ont en effet révélé l’existence d’une équipe de sympathisants chiites, qui seraient impliqués dans la préparation du crime. D’où les sévères critiques d’Hassan Nasrallah, le chef du Hezbollah, vendredi, contre le réseau téléphonique libanais, contrôlé, selon lui, par Israël. Une accusation fondée sur l’arrestation — fort opportune — de plusieurs espions libanais à la solde de l’État hébreu au sein d’Alfa, l’un des principaux opérateurs mobile.
To translate quickly, he’s saying that phone tapping evidence will implicate Hezbollah sympathizers in the preparation of the crime, which explains Hezbollah’s attempts to discredit the STL and paint the entire telecom sector as controlled by Israel, which suspiciously coincided with the arrest of Israeli spies at Lebanese telecom companies.
One thing’s for sure. Soon, something big is going to happen.
