Hamadeh Says Arms Not Targeted against Enemy
MP and Former Minister Marwan Hamadeh expressed relief after his meeting with a delegation from the Special Tribunal for Lebanon on Thursday.
Hamadeh, who escaped an assassination attempt in 2004, told al-Joumhouria newspaper on Friday that “it was a day full of conflicting emotions.”
“I am relieved for the progress of investigations to unveil the conspiracy that targeted the country as a whole, and we were modest targets in it,” the lawmaker said.
However, the daily quoted Hamadeh as saying: “I am revolted to find out that the weapons of some (parties) aren’t headed towards the enemy.”
Earlier on Thursday, a delegation from the joint U.N. and international investigators commission held talks with Ministers Elias Murr and Marwan Hamadeh and ex-LBCI anchorwoman May Chidiac on the investigations and their findings.
The commission informed Murr, Hamadeh and Chidiac that two of the Hizbullah suspects accused in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri are also involved in their murder attempts, Central News Agency reported on Thursday.
The commission also informed them that the two suspects are also involved in the assassination of former Lebanese Communist Party leader George Hawi, who was killed in a bomb attack planted in his car in 2005.
