Hezbollah warns of an explosion if its members are indicted by STL

Share:

Sheikh Naim Qassem, deputy of Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned on Tuesday of the risks of an explosion in Lebanon if members of his party are indicted by Special Tribunal for Lebanon in the assassination of for former Lebanese premier Rafik Hariri.

“We cannot disclose what we might do if the indictment accuses members of Hezbollah,” Qassem told BBC in an interview, a transcript of which was distributed by Hezbollah.

“The options are many and it depends on the circumstances at that time,” he added.

“What we do know is that such an indictment is a warning bell equivalent to lighting the fuse, to igniting the wick for an explosion, and is dangerous for Lebanon.”

Qassem’s statement is a possible confirmation of al-Sharq al-Awsat’s report that the Islamist group has been in contact with Shiite group Amal and pro-Syrian organizations in Lebanon in order to set a plan to seize control of the country after the court’s ruling.

The pro-Syrian Al-Akhbar newspaper a;lso reported on Monday that Hezbollah has prepared a plan to take over Lebanon when the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) issues its indictment for the 2005 murder of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

March 14 MP Okab Sakr urged Hezbollah on Monday to clarify its stance over the Al-Akhbar article. According to observers Qassem’s remarks to BBC confirm the Al-Akhbar article .

According to al Akhbar , hours before the issuance of the STL indictment, Hezbollah plans on deploying security and political forces in large numbers

Al Akhbar said Hezbollah plan targets, major cities ( including the capital, suburbs, Kesrouan and North Lebanon towns) and several centers ( seaports, airports and border crossings) in Lebanon in addition to locating and arresting political, military and security officials. The plan also includes locating and arresting the officials that Syria had issued arrest warrants against “in order to curtail their movement and get hold of major cities in Lebanon.”

Last week, Nasrallah called on the Lebanese people not to cooperate with STL investigators after they visited a gynecological clinic in the Dhahyia ( a Hezbollah stronghold ) and were attacked by 150 women who snatched one of their cases containing investigation materials.

    If Hassan Nasrallah is feeling the heat – and his increasingly inflammatory statements suggest he is – he shouldn’t seek to bring the country down with him. His tactics of blackmail and intimidation fly in the face of the honor and dignity of which he speaks.

    The current Lebanese situation appears unstable and rather dangerously at risk for the health of Lebanon… it seems that Hizbullah uses the pretense of the Party and Resistance is untouchable and is way above reproach to consider any disagreement with its policy or challenge to its ideology-methodology as an open attack on it. Therefore, in return, it threatens to wage attack, impose, or subdue its opponents. Ironically, its arch enemy, Israel, does exactly the same thing! Under the pretense of Security, Israel has attacked, imposed itself, oppressed, labeled as terrorists, etc, any one who disagrees with or presents a challenge to its policies and behaviors. Psychologically, the most powerful groups or nations enjoy displaying their might and flexing their muscles. They arrogantly rely on their powerful corporations or weapons! They have a inflamed sense of Ego and are accountable to nobody. Interestingly, both Hizbullah and Israel do mix their religious faith, political fervor, socio-economic ambition, and cultural tradition without a clear distinction or sense of boundaries. Are they a spiritual entity or a political entity? Are they a social movement or a cultural people? Are they religious group or a secular nation? Unclear!! However, there is one major difference that stands out among many differences– and that is, Israel has been called by observers and analysts as the “rebellious teenager” referring to its conflicting relationship with its parent the United States. Israel has been demanding and quite stubborn in dealing with a giant parent, like the US, who passively gives-in to her demands so many times, without significant accountability or consequences. So, we have yet to see when Hizbullah will be able to stand up for her parents, Iran and Syria (who hold a convenient and opportunistic marriage relationship at best) and to challenge them openly and candidly for the sake of Lebanon First.

    The question is who planned the assasinations and who carried them out? Iran and Syria
    know that Rustum Ghazali was the planner and Hizballah the executor. Just imagine what
    would happened to Hizballah and Syria’s reputation in the world if that was true? We all
    understand that Hizballah is the military’s extended hand in the region for Iran and Syria
    and has to execute their plans in order to survive. Simply, Hizballah doesn’t have the freedom
    to do what’s right for Lebanon, but what’s right for his masters in Damascus and Tehran. The
    only solution is to give Hizballah full autonomy over South Lebanon and the Lebanese government
    should wash its hands from all of his decision. This way the world will know that Lebanon is not responsible
    for Hizballah’s decisions, but Syria and Iran are. Add to that, Israel will have no reason or logic
    to bomb all Lebanese cities and infra-stractures. If you can’t safe all of Lebanon, it is better to
    safe the most of it. Let us face it, no one can stop Iran and syria from facing
    their arch enemy, the West, in South Lebanon. Both consider South Lebanon as their hot
    border with Israel and the West.
