Prime Minister Najib
Miqati stressed on Sunday that “we will not allow any side to meddle in our
affairs,” saying that Lebanon will not once again be turned into an open ground
for other powers’ disputes.
He said in a statement
on former minister and MP Michel Samaha’s arrest: “The judiciary will follow
through on the matter to the end.”
“It will continue its
investigations in the case of attempting to create security unrest and strife
in Lebanon through bombings in various areas,” he said.
It will continue the
investigation in order to reveal all of the case’s details, determine who is
behind the affair, and issue the appropriate verdict, declared Miqati.
“We had adopted the
policy of dissociation out of our conviction that we will not meddle in the
affairs of others and we therefore will not allow anyone to interfere in our
matters,” he stated.
He revealed that he had
requested that the concerned agencies perform the necessary and immediate
investigations to determine who is responsible for transporting explosives to
Lebanon.
In addition, the premier
stressed the need for intensifying security along border crossings.
The Military Tribunal
charged on Saturday Samaha and Syrian security Chief Maj. Gen. Ali Mamlouk with
forming a group to commit crimes in Lebanon.
Some reports said that they
were planning on carrying out attacks against various political and religious
figures.http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/49793
