Lebanon must publish the U.N.’s finding on the Hariri murder case

Share:

By: Con Coughlin*

There is one, very effective way that the Lebanese government can thwart attempts by Hizbollah, Iran’s favourite Islamic fundamentalist militia, to seize control of the country and that is to publish the findings of the U.N. sponsored tribunal into the murder of former prime minister Rafik Hariri, who was killed by a car bomb in Beirut in 2005.

According to the widely-leaked findings of the tribunal’s findings, Lebanese investigators have identified 20 mobile phones used in the planning of the attack and traced them all to senior Hizbollah officials who were working for the militia’s “special operational unit.”

If this is true, then Hizbollah’s claim to be a legitimate political party, rather than the terrorist group it is deemed to be in the West, would be exposed as a sham. This is the reason, of course, that Hizbollah brought down the government of Saad Hariri, the murdered prime minister’s son whose coalition government was on the point of publishing the tribunal’s findings.

But it is very much in the West’s interests to stop Hizbollah’s attempted coup d’etat. Hizbollah, which is armed and funded by Iran, has already provoked one war with Israel when it attacked its northern border in the summer of 2006. And there is every likelihood that Hizbollah will do the same once it has full control of the Lebanese government, only this time it will be able to call upon the thousands of new Iranian rockets and missiles that have been smuggled into southern Lebanon through Syria.

A fresh war between Israel and Lebanon is the last thing we need at a time when the main focus of our efforts it to maintain peace and stability in the Middle East. A good way to avoid another round of hostilities would be to publish the U.N.’s findings and bring all of those responsible for Hariri’s murder to justice.

    just watch CBC ARCHIVES, it shows clearly how Wisam Eid uncovered the Hizbollah cell that killed Hariri , that`s why Wisam was killed .Also Hariri responsible for security is involved also, as he lied to the UN investigation about his phone call to Hariri day before the assassination about why he couldnt be with Hariri that day`. Lahoud was also aware because the presidential guard Hamdan was involved in the planning , and Hamdan was sleeping in the presidential palace.Lebanon politicians are the dirtiest in the world, name a country that had so many politicians murdered

      Here is the big ? . With so many politicians murdered like you said. Why is the west so interested in this one .As far as cell phones this one is really laughable . The country almost fell apart in 08 over HA sophisticated phone system . In 06 Israel and the west were shocked when they learned about HA command and control . Having said that now imagine HA who knows the phone # of every Israeli officer deployed in the north and how to hack them. All of the sudden is going to hand out cell phones that are not secured knowing how hacked the Lebanese network is by the west. Lastly can you tell me who the major share holders are in CBS .I’ll give you one guess

        Yes I agree with you. Lebanon telcom system is based on GSM technology which widely used throughout the world. This protocol is software, time based embedded in sim card. It is so wide open for hacking that I personally refuse to use it in the US, I use CDMA hardware driven. With all said you can put SIM cards with any data you want in any phone and connect it to the network. The last time I was there, I was able to image my sister’s SIM card into a different SIM card and use my phone as if it’s her’s. I’m not saying that this is what happened but it is very doable with certain protocol knowledge.

        Excuse me ,bit of modesty ,when you said HA knows ” every tel HA who knows the phone # of every Israeli officer deployed in the north” that’s a joke!!!:))))) same during the 2006 Simon Peres said if we want to kill Nasrallah we could have done long time ago as we know the elevator and the floor he use , and It is matter of time before the Mossad get him that’s why he ‘s living in the dungeons.
        Anyway forget everything , who Killed Wisam Eid then and why.There is no perfect crime and mistakes always occurs and let’s wait and see . But Wisam Eid wasn’t chasing Ghost to deserve to be killed , he was discovering the chain that plotted and executed the murder.Aout CBC shreholders , stop being the common Arab that accuses Jews of everything, same as when the Christians were killed in Iraq and Egypt we heard the voices saying the Zionist are behind it ,stop this non sense. If they weren’t the killers Syria and Hizbollah will not negotiate with Hariri and after kick him out, they are rushing to have a government that cancel Lebanon commitment to international court and make Lebanon similar to the garbage countries like Iran and Syria that have no respect for any laws .Trust me if Hezbollah didn’t manage to bring Mikati they will be today in full control with arms in every corner of Lebanon, as they know they are the killers or the executers on behalf of their masters in Iran and Syria , anyway stick to them you belong to this crap

          Okay Moron you have not made one point . Yes they have the phone #’s and yes HA hacked them . HA was able to release the names and the # of casualties . Even before Israeli command did .That’s a widely known fact .As far the west being interested in the murder of an Arab well that’s just laughable. As far CBS FOX ABC NBC not being controlled by
          Tel Aviv . I think even Netanyahu would be knee slapping you Moron..

    I hope that the new government will pay back the 63 billion debt, Interesting how the losers of the last election can come into power……well perhaps put a gun to anyones head you can change them. What has happened to Lebanon is a shame to democracy and freedom as we know it. A bunch of children (Auon,Hizballah,and dumblat) playin politics. I hope the indictments are soon and the whole world will see “terrorrizm” at it’s finest. They will not last in power. It was clearly an unacceptable way of forming a new Gov.
