August 24, 2010 - ILoubnan - Hussein: "Assassination of Rafic Hariri will not lead to internal crisis

State Minister Adnan Hussein told Orient radio station on Tuesday that "the assassination of late Rafic Hariri will not lead to any internal crisis."

"Lebanon has an internal immunity which was emphasized by the tripartite summit held at Baabda palace", he said, noting that "we as Lebanese are still feeling this summit's positive outcomes."

"We should not allow any strife to flare up in Lebanon or in any other Arab or Islamic country", Sayyed Hussein added.

Mr. Hussein also tackled the STL issue saying that the government is following up all related affairs through Justice Minister, Ibrahim Najjar, who is still studying some witnesses' testimonies.

"Lebanese media must try to boost people's unity and strengthen Sunnite-Shiite ties", the Minister said, praising the latest statements issued by PM Saad Hariri and Hezbollah in reducing the political gap between the different poles in Lebanon.

Separately, Minister Hussein justified the people's grudge regarding electricity outage issue; however, he criticized the street violence acts which took place these past few days, calling for solving this crisis immediately and effectively.
