Now Lebanon - Houri: Present info on Israeli telecom infiltration to STL - November 29, 2010









Information about Israeli infilitration of the telecommunications sector must be presented to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) as soon as possible “because it is the suitable authority to evaluate it and to study its effect on the tribunal’s work,” Lebanon First bloc MP Ammar Houri said on Monday.
Much of the information presented by Telecommunications Minister Charbel Nahhas on the subject is “technical and can only be discussed technically,” Houri told As-Sharq radio.
Tension is high in Lebanon amid unconfirmed reports that the STL will soon issue an indictment in its investigation of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s 2005 assassination. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) reported on November 21 that the STL has telecommunications evidence strongly linking Hezbollah to the murder.
Israeli penetration of Lebanon’s telecom sector is “clear and proven,” Nahhas said in a press conference on Tuesday.
In a speech on Sunday, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said that any evidence based on the telecom sector is valueless because Israel controls the sector, and that a compromise must be reached before the indictment is issued.
