BEIRUT: A prominent Lebanese politician known as “Mr. X” whose telephone call was intercepted by the U.N. probe investigating former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s assassination is Amal Movement MP Ali Hassan Khalil, said a former witness Mohammad Zuheir Siddiq Thursday.
“To this day there are still officials in Syria who know the details of the murder of [Hariri] and I hope they will confess at the tribunal [Special Tribunal for Lebanon,]” Siddiq told the Voice of Lebanon radio station.
Siddiq also blamed former Kataeb (Phalange) president Karim Pakradouni of leaking the movements of former minister Pierre Gemayel to what he called “traitors” of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party. “An intelligence decision in Syria was taken to assassinate Kataeb Party leader Amin Gemayel but some March 8 officials suggested to them that they kill his son, Pierre Gemayel instead,” said Siddiq, who is currently living in Holland.
After the interview, Pakradouni rebuffed the accusations made by Siddiq and called them “fabricated stories.” –The Daily Star
