Jumblat Warns of 'Traps Set by Syrian Regime to Deviate Attention from its Crisis'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat on Sunday stressed “the need to reach a political solution to the problem” in unrest-hit Tripoli that would “spare the army a confrontation on Tripoli and keep it away from political disputes,” warning of “traps set up by the Syrian regime.”
According to a statement issued by the PSP, Jumblat contacted several security and political officials, urging “the release of Mr. Shadi al-Mawlawi and the addressing of the situation according to the legal norms, to prevent the recurrence of illegal arrests by sides that lack jurisdiction.”
Mawlawi was arrested on Saturday by General Security agents who lured him to an office belonging to Finance Minister Mohammed Safadi in Tripoli and captured him there. The General Directorate of General Security has said that Mawlawi was on his way out of the office and that he was being interrogated on charges of “communicating with a terrorist organization.”
Jumblat emphasized the importance of the army’s role “in preserving civil peace,” reiterating that “security solutions have proved futile anywhere they were tried and Syria is the latest example.”
The PSP leader also called for full coordination among the Lebanese security agencies through the exchange of information “before taking any political decision on any solution, because that would prevent the persistence of the major security chaos and the rise and growth of certain security protectorates.”
Jumblat urged authorities to put the Islamist detainees on trial as soon as possible “in order to wrap up this file comprehensively and permanently.”
Keeping the issue unresolved “violates the most basic legal and humanitarian rules which stipulate that detainees have the right to be put on trial,” Jumblat said.
Some Islamists have been detained since more than five years without trial, the thing that sparks protests every now and then.
PSP’s statement said Jumblat telephoned President Michel Suleiman, Prime Minister Najib Miqati, Army Commander General Jean Qahwaji, army intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Edmond Fadel, General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim and Hizbullah Liaison and Coordination Officer Wafiq Safa.

Suni islamists are held without trial, she3a islamists kill rafic hariri, killed sameer 7ana of the lebanese army, and probably many others on the list; however, they are at large and can kill any 3rd class citizen (i.e not hizbustani) as they see fit. Welcome to the lebanese jungle, and then hassoon tells us that his attack on may 7 was not against the sunis but against tayar mustaqbal (incidentaly the largest suni bloc representative), of course he solved the riddle of hariri murder with some videos on manar (no need for investigations), hek.. total disregard and contempt for third class citizens. Welcome to the lebanese jungle. Unfortunately, such brainwashing and empty-short sighted confidence, similar to bashar's, will sooner or later lead to a civil war.

what a bunch of bollocks realist. a salafi extremist was arrested, not a sunni
fyi salafis consider their view of islam is the only valid one, and they call for the murder of all those they call infidel, including moderate Sunnis, because they have different views.
know also that recent attacks on liquor shops and clubs in tyr have been traced to salafi groups, and remember that some other salafis were arrested for planning attacks against the lebanese army.
on the other hand, in the absence of proof anything is possible regarding the assassination of Hariri, but i guess only those who have been fabricating false witnesses and protecting them would know, ie: the STL bozos.
but in the mean time, the only ones who had an interest in killing him were the all-time champions of assassination: azraelis

do you feel your attention was diverted? you forgot about syria? troubles stopped there because of what happened in tripoli?
lol if things worked like this all problems would be easily solved. joumbalat talks mainly for the idiots, because others already know he doesnt believe what he says himself. one day he allies with his cat, the next day he has a romance with the goldfish.
as for azrael's interest yes, what did hezbollah gain besides losing a close friend (hariri) and turning the internal scene into a second confrontation front?
also azrael beenfitted from hariri's death pushing syria out, the 2006 war would have been impossible with syria still here. man stop calling names and use logic once in a while

And the war would not have been the same if syria was in Lebanon ? what did the syrian regime to liberate their own land ? nothing ! what did they do when the israeli plane flew over the presidential palace and shot a syrian aircraft in 1998? nothing ! what did the syrian do to liberate palestine ? nothing and what did the syrian regime do in Lebanon in the civil war besides killing lebanese from both sides and accusing them to keep the fire ! I am using logic Mowaten maybe you shoudl begin by doing the same and put your love to your bosses aside ;)

best buddies http://www.middle-east-online.com/meopictures/big/_42590_RafiqHariri_Nasrallah.jpg
they would see each other every week and were working hand in hand. hariri never disavowed the resistance, and the resistance never had issues with hariri.
hariri had some issues with syria, but he ended up giving them what they wanted, plus according to all, including your friends of the STL, syria didnt do it

where are the salafis? lol look at the streets of tripoli ya zake.
regarding the kidnapped priest it was the father of the baptized girl who did it, and Hezbollah intervened to ensure his quick release.
PS: if you're not interested don't read my comments, easy solution.

zero evidence ? you are brainwashed to ap oint that you refuse to admit something that hits your clan, your party and your boss ... where are your facts first before you ask for Realist's ? none , zero , rien , nada ... the telecom data was used agaisnt them and they denied it , but when it came to spot those zionist agents in HA ranks they took the same way into consideration ... btw how can the defender of the south and the protector of the lebanese cause against the zionist threat could be infested with so many spies ... and btw where are they ? they shouldnt been handled to the lebanese authoritiy because it is a state crime and they shoudl be trialed/jailed/death penalty for colaborating with the enemy or they ended like Karam ?
