Khalil Criticizes Judge Charges against Him
Amal Movement MP Ali Hassan Khalil of the Development and Liberation Parliamentary bloc criticized as “inconsistent” the indictments charged against him and other Lebanese figures over the deadly port blast.
Khalil said the indictments that also charged caretaker PM Hassan Diab and two other ex-ministers, are “inconsistent with constitutional and legal rule.”
Khalil said his bloc has committed to “serious work” in order to uncover the truth about the August 4 Beirut port "crime," and inflict the “harshest” penalties against its perpetrators.
"The indictment does not cohere with any constitutional or legal rule," he stressed.
Judge Fadi Sawan, the lead investigator in the August 4 blast, charged Diab and three former ministers allies of Hizbullah.
Besides Khalil, Ghazi Zeiter and Youssef Fenianos, both former ministers of public works were charged.

You are all guilty from top to bottom. What is strange though is no mention/indictment of the heads of the security agencies. Any Lebanese knows the army and its Intelligence Service, the General Security, and State Security are all present at the port and a fly cannot pass without their knowledge. To me, it is obvious this is politically motivated.

As someone who only visits family these days, do you really need to be under a rock somewhere to know who controls the port area? Here is a hint, it is not Ahrar. I mean you cannot run the majority of the country with your militia, and then play stupid when this happens.
