Now Lebanon - An-Nahar: Sayyed met privately with Sleiman, September 16, 2010

An-Nahar newspaper on Thursday quoted an unnamed ministerial source as saying that former General Security chief Jamil as-Sayyed met privately with President Michel Sleiman a few days ago in an unannounced visit.

The source did not specify if Sayyed visited Sleiman before or after the former’s Sunday press conference.

This comes after Sayyed said on Sunday that Prime Minister Saad Hariri “should take a lie detector test to prove he did not support or fund false witnesses in the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL),” the court investigating the 2005 assassination of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri. The former General Security chief also vowed to take his right “with his own hands.”

Sayyed was placed in temporary detention in Lebanon in 2005 for his alleged involvement in the 2005 assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri and released in 2009 due to lack of evidence.
