Naharnet - Rifi Hits Back at Sayyed: Prison is Made for You and People Like You - September 18, 2010


Police chief Gen. Ashraf Rifi on Saturday hit back at Maj. Gen. Jamil Sayyed, vowing to face him in court.
"Prison is made for you and people like you and for killers under your protection," he told Sayyed in a statement.

"We will face you (Sayyed) in court and we will carry on our drive," Rifi said.

He said State Prosecutor Saeed Mirza and Police Intelligence chief Wissam al-Hasan deserve "medals on their chests."

"Your yelling will not work in such a secondary, trivial case aimed at shutting our eyes and the eyes of honest people on the central issue -- assassination of martyrs," Rifi added.

"We are confident that we will soon see the killers behind bars," he stressed.
