Now Lebanon - An-Nahar: Hariri rejects chaos over four generals issue - September 22, 2010

An unnamed ministerial source told An-Nahar newspaper in an interview published on Wednesday that Prime Minister Saad Hariri told ministers he rejects “chaos in the country under [the pretences] of giving the four generals their rights.”

Four generals, including former General Security chief Jamil as-Sayyed, were held in suspicion of involvement in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. They were released in 2009 due to lack of evidence.

Sayyed criticized Hariri on September 12, saying the premier “should take a lie detector test to prove he did not support or fund false witnesses in the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL).” The former General Security chief also threatened to take his right “with his own hands” if Hariri did not give it to him.
