The report by Iran's semi-official Fars news agency quoted "observers" of Lebanese politics as saying that the motive behind efforts toward returning Siniora to the premiership "is to pave the way for his assassination and then use his blood to (achieve political gain) in the coming elections."

The sources hinted that Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea could have an interest in killing Saniora "just as he used martyr Rafik Hariri's blood."

Lebanese Forces MP Antoine Zahra quickly responded to Fars' accusations, saying he demands to refer this issue to both Lebanese and international judiciaries.

Zahra urged Saniora to "be cautious," and called on Lebanese security forces to take Fars' report "seriously."

"It has been known that each time a Lebanese personality is assassinated, fingers are pointed at us - Lebanese Forces or March 14 Forces," Zahra said in a statement.

"This agency (Fars), just as Sham Press and others, is known for making up excuses (to launch) security operations that are being prepared by its own groups," Zahra added.

Many politicians in Lebanon are concerned that Iran which backs Hezbollah, militarily, politically and financially may follow Syria's lead and start its own hit list in Lebanon, to assassinate those that oppose the Wilayat al Faqih
