August 16, 2010 - Now Lebanon - Rahhal slams Wahhab over STL statement

Lebanon First bloc MP Riad Rahhal issued a statement on Monday slamming Tawhid Movement leader Wiam Wahhab, over the latter’s Sunday statement about the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL).

Wahhab said on Sunday that STL Prosecutor General Daniel Bellemare is a “liar and a crook,” and called on March 8 alliance ministers to resign from the cabinet if the tribunal’s funding is not withdrawn.

Rahhal said he wondered “why [figures like Wahhab] are lashing out at the judiciary, the state and the army through threats.”

He also called on the relevant Lebanese authorities to pursue the scaremongers and legally punish them.
