Franjieh Says Hariri’s Hatred Overcomes National Interest
Marada leader MP Suleiman Franjieh said on Thursday that ex-Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s hatred has overcome the national interest since the assassination of his father on Feb. 14, 2005.
Franjieh, in remarks to al-Manar television, said that Hariri placed the murder of his father in a position higher than Lebanon and its stability.
“During the past period he (Hariri) wished that Syria would be accused in the murder and today he doesn’t want to unveil who killed ex-PM Rafik Hariri,” Franjieh said. He only wants Hizbullah to be accused, he added.
The Special Tribunal for Lebanon published on Wednesday the indictment after it said there was enough evidence to try four Hizbullah members in the murder of Hariri.
“The main objective is to nourish the Shiites-Sunni hatred,” the MP stressed.
The Marada leader noted “every three years they reveal a new story.”
Franjieh said that “they are trying to target the resistance through the STL and the U.N. after the 2006 war.”
He considered that some Sunni leaders think they can control the country, saying: “Some think that if a political party lost its position in authority, then the whole sect will lose.”
“I urge everyone to preserve coexistence,” Franjieh said.
He stressed: “We’re against Israel and we bet on the resistance and support the current regime in Syria. The near future will prove that our choice was right.”
