Nasrallah Says Only State Must be Responsible for Security, Denies Receiving Chemical Arms from Syria

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Monday stressed that state authorities must be responsible for security across Lebanon, denying accusations that his party has received chemical weapons from Syria.

“The joint task force has taken over all the security checkpoints in Dahieh. We welcome this step and greatly appreciate this national decision taken by state officials," Nasrallah said in a televised speech.

"We hope that the state and its officials carry out their national and legal duties towards all of Lebanon's regions," he added.

He called on residents of the group's stronghold in Dahieh, and those passing through it, to show "cooperation and respect" for the security forces and their measures.

“I call on everyone to deal with these security forces in a spirit of national responsibility. These men are shouldering a very big responsibility and they are performing a major mission for which they must be thanked,” added Nasrallah.

“We hope these security forces and state authorities will shoulder their full responsibility and assume all the intelligence and preventative missions,” he said.

Around 1,000 army troops and security forces deployed Monday in Beirut's southern suburbs, where Hizbullah normally keeps a tight grip on security.

The security points were established after car bombings in the southern suburbs that killed 27 people on August 15 and wounded more than 50 on July 9.

Following the bombings, Hizbullah turned the southern suburbs into a fortress with guards in civilian clothes policing the streets, stopping and searching cars, and asking motorists for their identity cards.

Nasrallah said Hizbullah's investigations into the second attack, in the Rweiss neighborhood, showed that “Takfiris” affiliated with the Syrian opposition were behind it.

"We have reached conclusive results, as promised," he said.

"It is a Takfiri group working within the framework of the Syrian opposition and located on Syrian soil," he added, saying both Lebanese and Syrian nationals were involved in the attack.

"I think that (Lebanese) official security forces have reached the same conclusion," said Nasrallah, whose group has fought alongside regime forces in the Syrian conflict against the rebels.

Hizbullah has always kept a tight grip on its Dahieh stronghold, but its security apparatus became increasingly visible after the attacks, raising tensions.

There were multiple incidents with citizens and journalists at the checkpoints, and a clash at one with Palestinian refugees earlier this month left one dead and four injured.

“From the very first moment, statements rejecting autonomous security were issued ... Some parties rejected autonomous security in principle and we respect and back this stance. We are advocates of this stance because we reject autonomous security and it has never been part of our agenda and we have never practiced autonomous security,” said Nasrallah.

“We only resorted to this option when we found that there is a security vacuum and we only intervened to prevent the entry of booby-trapped cars,” he added.

“Some parties said that this is Hizbullah's plan and accused the party of seeking autonomous security to 'complete its mini-state scheme,' but today's deployment refuted their claims, as Hizbullah would have rejected this issue if it was seeking autonomous security,” Nasrallah noted.

He reminded that “from the very first day” Hizbullah contacted the state and “asked them to shoulder their responsibilities, but they said that they had a personnel problem.”

“Those who accuse us of seeking a mini-state condemned the measures and attacked them with the aim of demonizing this sincere national endeavor,” said Nasrallah.

Hizbullah's leader stressed that only the state should be responsible for security in all regions, noting that his party members would leave “any area to which the state might send forces.”

“Today it happened in Dahieh and tomorrow it might happen in Baalbek and we welcome and cooperate with any efforts that contribute to the success of the mission,” he said.

“I thank all the brothers and sisters, all the families, all the people. I thank the army, the security forces and the Palestinian factions, especially the family of the martyr Mohammed Samrawi over their noble stance on the regrettable incident in Burj al-Barajneh,” added Nasrallah.

Turning to the issue of Syria's chemical arsenal, Nasrallah said: “The U.S. defense secretary warned that chemical weapons might be transferred to Hizbullah and on the next day the (opposition) Syrian (National) Coalition claimed that the Syrian regime has delivered chemical arms to Hizbullah and some 'smart' opposition officials claimed that we have received a ton of chemical agents and this is a laughable accusation."

"The thing is not like transporting wheat, flour or conventional weapons and some parties in Lebanon joined the media campaign and said they fear that the chemical weapons might be transported to Lebanon," said Nasrallah.

He warned that these accusations have "dangerous repercussions on Lebanon and on all people."

"I categorically deny these baseless accusations. I call on the Lebanese to be cautious while launching such accusations, which might have repercussions on everyone," Nasrallah added.

Commenting on the issue of the stalled national dialogue, Nasrallah said some parties have again “rejected dialogue and set preconditions and they are the same parties who had impeded dialogue and insisted on (Najib) Miqati's resignation.”

“Following the cabinet's resignation, they did not return to dialogue and they set the precondition of forming a new cabinet,” he noted.

“Those who are obstructing dialogue in Lebanon are well-known and we are willing to take part in dialogue regardless of the issue of some parties' participation. We see a national interest in dialogue regardless of the possible outcome,” Nasrallah went on to say.

“Some said that Hizbullah does not want to discuss the intervention in Syria, but on the contrary, we want to discuss this point and we agree on Speaker (Nabih) Berri's agenda. We agree to discuss who started the intervention, its forms, the timing of our intervention and whether there is a national interest in it,” he added.

Referring to a recent op-ed written by ex-PM Fouad Saniora and published in the Foreign Policy magazine, Nasrallah said: “We want to understand what does intervention in Syria mean. Isn't it intervention when some leaders urge, contact, exert efforts and write articles in some media outlets to called on the American president to wage a military aggression against Syria? An aggression that would have dangerous repercussions on the region, the world and Lebanon. Is this neutrality? Is this self-dissociation? Which is more dangerous? This move or the sending of Hizbullah fighters to specific locations in Syria?”

“We are willing to discuss any topic, including the intervention in Syria. We are willing to discuss this issue more than any other topic,” Nasrallah noted.

  • 23 September 2013, 21:15

    Nasrallah: They want to cover up for their failure in Syria ... Failure has been haunting this camp since two years and a half and they are using the excuse of Hizbullah's occupation of Syria while ignoring the fact that there is a regime, leadership and people in Syria who are confronting the challenges.

  • 23 September 2013, 21:08

    Nasrallah: This formula is not realistic because it is actually an 8-10-6 formula, since the premier-designate is a member of the March 14 forces and the minister he is supposed to name would abide by the same political decision, which would technically mean that March 14 would have 10 ministers.

    Nasrallah: The head of a Lebanese party claimed that the wired telecom network was breaching people's privacy and he should ask one of the officers about this network, which is primitive and incapable of spying on anyone.

    Nasrallah: The Bekaa is part of the battle with the enemy and we need to have communications with the Baalbek-Hermel region.

Unfortunately, some parties are seeking stunts and illusionary heroism.

  • 23 September 2013, 20:47

    Nasrallah: We have managed to identify the culprits of the Rweiss bombing and their handlers. Of course it is a Takfiri group that is affiliated with the Syrian opposition and which is based in Syrian territory. Security agencies also reached this conclusion.

While I am against the cabinet being a miniature representation of the parliament. I hope dialogue does take place and are this time fruitful. HA is not in the same powerful position as before. They appear more willing to compromise. And I hope m14 is willing to do the same. At the end of the day the major issue dividing the Lebanese are HA weapons. Let us find a way to remove this division. For if we don't we are only heading to a worse period than 75-90.

I hate to stoop to their levels, but now the army is complicit with the crimes hizbiran is committing in Syria. The army is taking over securing their land while they go and invade another. Congrats Lebanese now you have a militia that at a moment notice they use your army as their security attaché.

Missing formerlebaniz 23 September 2013, 21:12

anonymetexasusa,

I full heartedly agree with you on that, but that is not the reason behind this request nor is it the reason behind this action. The ONLY reason Hizbiran requested the ISF to deploy in Dahiyeh is because their manpower is unavailable. Once they return from their frontlines do you think the ISF in Dahiyeh will remain intact? They will fabricate a dispute and kick them out, or will continue using them as mercenaries to bodyguard their actions.

I really wish you are right I really do, but you know deep down that that's the truth on the ground.

Missing formerlebaniz 23 September 2013, 21:42

anonymetexasusa,

You live in a fairytale bud if you think that this is the beginning of the demise of Hizbiran and their hegemony of the Dahiyeh. If this is the case I'm in ALL means completely with this process, but based on previous experience this is just a step taken to help them deploy more in Syria.

It's the same as having the UN and the Lebanese Army deployed in the South, south of Litani, can you honestly say with a straight face that this has weakened HizbIran in the South and stopped having their weapons in that area (that's the UN mandate btw).

Thumb lebanon_first 23 September 2013, 22:08

formerlebaniz, you are being too pessimistic. I think texas has some truth in his analysis. you dont see what is happening? Leb army is deploying in dahieh! This is something unheard of for years and years.
Nassy got instructions from rouwhani to "sit" and not "attack".
Bottom line his future behavior will be dictated by what Iran decides, and Iran is bent on integrating the international community... Hence the watering down of demands and rethoric. And this is good news.

Missing formerlebaniz 24 September 2013, 01:03

Decades of watching the M14 putting out their hand and offering to work together on building this country and this hand being bitten off have taught me to be realistic in my expectations. Trust is no longer to be given anymore to Nassy and his cronnies blindly, trust must be earned.

Again, we have said this not too long ago when the Lebanese Army was deployed in the south, this is unheard of, this is a triumph for statehood, this is the beginning of the end, if HizbIran is not going to be able to deploy south of Litani they will no longer be effective... bla bla bla bla HizbIran is more than ever armed in the south and buildings inside of Beirut having their basements force rented out to HizbIran and you fear to know what they are storing in these basements.

Again, I really hope you are right and I'm wrong, but I no longer assume the best and set my self for disappointment.

Missing formerlebaniz 23 September 2013, 23:36

Everything has changed! If you don't learn from your lessons and repeat them again you have failed as a human being. The unity government was a dead government, you can not have political bickering inside the cabinet it's impossible to accomplish anything, I'm a firm believer of a technocratic government, keep the political bickering in the parliament where it should belong.

M14 several times in the recent history have won the elections and should have run a M14 only cabinet, they didn't and EVERY TIME they didn't they were blocked and pretty much rendered inoperable because of the M8 veto powers. When HizbIran and their cronnies took over the government, the mess they have made is ONLY on their hands they can not blame M14 for blocking their work.

What has changed is M14 have been given multiple chances to be productive and they failed because they had the mentality you are showing.

Nasrallah is not consistent when he criticizes the Bahraini government and allies himself with the dictatorship in Syria and the Iranian government that squashed the green movement.
Furthermore, it is not in the interest of Lebanon as a whole to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.

Ha will do what they please when they please. Things can't get any worse, they sidelined M14 and made a mess of the economy, they dug their own hole in Syria and now want the army to protect them, all eyes are on them, they want to blend in and disguise themselves in a unity government. Do not give Hassan the satisfaction of waving that trigger happy finger at us. Lebanon must dissociate themselves from HA completely and must start working to somehow bring back our brethren Shiia to the fold. Accountability on all levels is our only salvation. Stop allowing these politicians and religious leaders to ruin Lebanon and your lives.

"We appreciate the national decision that has been taken by state officials and we very much welcome this decision."
== Bravo ya shatreen. Keep doing what you're doing as long as we approve and provide directions. Otherwise, ghadab Allah 3ala raskoon. Ye know, we're his folks. He directs things as we pray him to. The Jews are not the chosen people. We are.

"we reject autonomous security and it has never been part of our agenda and we have never practiced autonomous security,” said Nasrallah... for this Thug to say that after all the years they have Enforced their will on the Lebanese authorities and civilians is pathetic.

Hizbullah is and has always been the pawn of the ayatollah and the Assad's.

What a load of crap yesterday on tv ! "The State must be reponsible for security"..... Allow the state to collect unpaid electricity bills ! Allow the state to arrest those well-know who roam freely after attempting to assasinate Boutros Harb ! Allow the state to investigate on the crime scene unexplained explosions every now and then ! This is the most formidable deceiving cosmetically media driven campain by the axis of devil ever: Iran, Syria, Hizbollah! Rohani, the pasdarans representatives wants to come out clean with the concealed nuclear bomb preparations , Assad wants to surrender his chemical arms after mass murdering thousands, and Nasrallah , the serial killer, cooperates with the State! Santa is back early this year !!

so basically.. hezbollah can cause and start the wars, but the lebanese state can (and must) pay the price, pay the tab, and clean the mess for it. oh thank you mr nasrallah. you are so nice to honor the state's role in serving your agenda.

Is everyone nuts on this site or what? If you think hizballah will put down their arms you are certifiably crazy. They make their living from this. Money is raining on them from iran. Its a business. where else will they get that kind of riches?

I have to admit this is a very clever move by HA. Throw the opposition a bone and gain some much needed political capital. Should the bone explode in the opposition's hands in the form of another car bomb in Dahieh then rush to point out how all along they've been preaching that the security forces in Lebanon are not capable of providing security to the people and therefore justify their weapons all over again. Indeed very clever. If they choose to call this a divine victory, I will be inclined to agree. Bravo M14, you got what you asked for, but wait there's more, much more and you will be the stooges when it is all said and done.
