Now Lebanon - Lebanese judiciary must address Syrian TV allegations, Syrian envoy says - April 14, 2011

Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdel Karim Ali told Alintiqad website on Thursday that “some Lebanese parties’ interferences in [recent] events in Syria contradicts the Taif Accord and special relations between Lebanon and Syria.”
Ali’s statement comes after three suspects testified Wednesday that they received arms and weapons from abroad to fuel a wave of protests in Syria. They also said that Future bloc MP Jamal al-Jarrah funded them.
The confessions of the “terrorist group” calls for the Lebanese authorities to take action and deal with the matter in order to maintain special relations between Lebanon and Syria.
“There is no need for the Syrian authority to communicate with the Lebanese judiciary because what was broadcast [on Wednesday] is enough to make the latter act on its own.”
Ali also said that the confessions broadcast by Syrian state television “are the beginning, and not everything.”
“The interferences in Syrian affairs were clear [to] Lebanon because [the confessions] were broadcast through the media.”
Jarrah, on Wednesday, denied the broadcast’s allegations.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on March 30 blamed conspirators for the deadly unrest that broke out in Syria earlier that month.
