Naharnet - Berri: I Will Say What I Haven't Said about False Witnesses in Timely Manner - September 27, 2010


Speaker Nabih Berri said he is exerting every effort to protect Lebanon from a devastating sectarian strife.
Berri said that while he considers a "red-line" a Christian-Muslim conflict, he will do everything in his power to avert war between Sunnis and Shiites.

Turning to the issue of false witnesses to the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, Berri said there are things he hasn't said.

"I did not say everything I know about false witnesses," Berri said in remarks published Monday by As-Safir newspaper, pointing important legal aspects related to this issue which he has not yet revealed.

"I may do that in due time," he said.

Berri stressed that Lebanese judicial authorities should follow-up the issue of false witnesses to be able to determine the side that is standing behind them.
