Saqr accuses Sayyed of being behind the Der Spiegel report

Share:

Lebanon First parliamentary bloc MP Oqab Saqr on Monday accused former General Security Department chief Maj. Gen. Jamil Sayyed of fabricating the story published by German magazine Der Spiegel last year about the alleged involvement of Hezbollah in former PM Rafik Hariri’s assassination.

The report at the time had quoted sources close to the international tribunal and said it had examined internal documents.

“What was published by the German Der Spiegel was fabricated by Jamil Sayyed,” Saqr said during a press conference.

“We don’t want an apology from Hezbollah but we want the Lebanese to know … who spread the rumor” to Der Spiegel, the lawmaker said.

Last week, Saqr accused Sayyed of dispatching a man to Premier Saad Hariri asking for $15 million in return for giving up his case. “The mediator who asked for a financial settlement for Sayyed was Mustafa Nasser,” the MP said during his press conference on Monday.

Saqr urged Hezbollah to beware and not to play with fire saying there were attempts to ignite Shiite-Sunni strife in the region, including Lebanon.

He also urged Nasrallah to “extend his arm” as Hariri has done and stop his “attempted coup” to avoid civil war.

Turning to the issue of false witnesses, Saqr said the March 14 forces want to know who fabricated them. Let Syrian authorities question Hussam Hussam, who is currently in Syria, to know who was behind him, the MP told Sayyed.

Sayyed along with 3 other generals was detained from 2005 to 2009 on suspicion of involvement in former PM Rafik Hariri’s murder. In April 2009, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL ) ordered their release without charges due to insufficient evidence. STL prosecutor made it clear at the time they were set free that their release did not mean they are Innocent and that once more evidence is available they could be back in jail.

The Der Spiegel report was published on May, 23 , 2009 several weeks following the release of Sayyed from jail.

According to observers , if Saqr is correct in his accusations of Sayyed then this could point to a revival of the accusations against Syria of being behind Hariri’s murder

The observers believe that Sayyed , a close ally of the Syrian regime may have attempted in his disclosures to Der Spiegel to exonerate Syria from the accusation of being behind Hariri’s assassination.

The irony here is that Hezbollah tried to protect Sayyed from being summoned by the Lebanese judiciary.

Hezbollah issued a statement on Friday in which it called on the judiciary to revoke Attorney General Judge Said Mirza’s decision to summon Sayyed for questioning after Sayyed said on September 12 that “[Prime Minister Saad Hariri] should take a lie detector test to prove he did not support or fund false witnesses in the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL).” The former General Security chief also threatened to take his right “with his own hands” if Hariri did not give it to him.

  1. emmm another conspiracy theory…. you know what …scrue this I will wait for the STL, ya3ni few more weeks and we will have a theory that some suicide bomber from Honolulu has killed Hariri and his mother is from Syria…..uffff

    1. I have a better one. Didn’t you know? Hariri committed suicide to rid us of the Syrians. Guess what? He succeeded! Now for the rest of the martyrs? Gibran, Qassir, Gemayel, Ido etc… they were kinda jealous so they committed suicide too.

  7. It looks to me that people who normally support hezbollah are avoiding the site much due to not having an answer to the armed gangs who roamed Beirut streets and Airport trying to protect a gang member like them. These are terrorists from Dahia who claims the gov’t never protected them in the past. But yet who can protect the govt and the lebanese from them too? Its same gangs of Arafat PLO who have used the South to attack israel and take over Lebanon. So when true lebanese militia tried to stop them. hezbollah calling them traitors now. Amazing those people who claims their weapons to protect Lebanon instead its protecting thugs and gangs who didn’t just kill hariri and took many good people with him and after him. They’re trying to intimidate anyone who accuses them of the crime. If you’re not guilty, then please stop attacking institutions, lebanese people and let’s all calm down. You can have a barking dogs like Jamil Syyed go around and threatens people. then you say to March 14th you’re being provcative and inciting civil strife by being sectarian.
    You’re coward and I hope your day comes soon inshallah.
    Prophet i told you about your gangs and you avoiding posting here because you’re afraid of backlash. You’re a coward and you’re waiting it until things calm down. If you think gemeyal and geagea are traitors? are you proud of your boys acting like thugs and taking over areas with black cars with no licence plates? they’re like gangs and anyone protect these gangs I have no respect for. If you protect them then you’re as evil as them.

      George(im sure its Goerge Haddad NJ 🙂 hows it goin?) You have to read Prophets reply to my question I addressed him with. Il 7a2 7a2. Ya3ne before you judge someone which i don’t quite agree with but anyways before you do like i said read his response to my comment.

      With reagrds to the subject matter I do agree with you in the sense that.. NOTHING from what has happened in these few days are acceptable and only does a disjustice to the Hizzy’s image because it claims to be for Lebanon bess not one action is Patriotic nor is it showing a spec of commitment to the basic rule of Law.

        I’ve been cleaning up after the tornado that hit us last Thursday. My neighborhood is a mess. Trees fell everywhere. We had power outage for 2 days, and we have yet to get cable back. It reminded me of the days when we power outage in Lebanon. In absence of TV, I’ve been playing the role of story teller for my girls. I think my girls are bored with my stories too. My late father was a better story teller than I have been. lol

        My only source of news is internet at work, only when I get the chance…. Thank God I ‘m not watching news, lol
