Saniora Hints Nasrallah Protecting 4 Hariri Murder Suspects

Al-Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc leader Fouad Saniora has hinted that Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was protecting the four suspects in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s assassination.

Saniora said Sunday that he was linking the TIME magazine interview with one of the suspects to the statement of Nasrallah that “these individuals are not expected to turn themselves even in 300 years.”

During a speech last month, Nasrallah said: “No Lebanese government will be able to carry out any arrests whether in 30 days ... 30 years or even 300 years."

“This means that there is someone saying in one way or another that he defends and protects them,” Saniora said.

The former prime minister urged the cabinet to exert efforts so that the four suspects hand themselves over.

The four men are Mustafa Amine Badreddine, Salim Jamil Ayyash, Hussein Hassan Oneissi and Assad Hassan Sabra.
