July 30, 2010 - Now Lebanon - March 8 source: We will not tolerate accusations of Hezbollah

Ad-Diyar newspaper quoted on Friday a March 8 coalition source as saying that they would not tolerate any accusations of Hezbollah.

This comes after Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said last week that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) would indict Hezbollah members for the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, adding that his party would reject such an indictment. The Resistance leader’s words have increased tension in Lebanon and sparked a war of words between March 8 and 14 alliance figures.

Friday’s summit between Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdel Aziz, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and President Michel Sleiman should be decisive in the issue of politicizing the STL, the daily quoted.

The visit is widely seen as an attempt to ease tension after Nasrallah’s speech.
