Now Lebanon - Sayyed seems to have lost his nerves, says Araji, September 17, 2010

Lebanon First bloc MP Assem Araji told the Voice of Lebanon (VOL) radio station on Friday that former General Security chief Jamil as-Sayyed should "keep quiet" after his Sunday press conference, adding that the latter “seems to have lost his nerves, which indicates that he is afraid.”

“Sayyed is upset by the [improved] relations between Prime Minister Saad Hariri and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad,” Araji said.

The former General Security chief said on Sunday that “[PM Saad Hariri] should take a lie detector test to prove he did not support or fund false witnesses in the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL),” investigating the 2005 assassination of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri, and vowed to take his right “with his own hands.”

Sayyed was detained from 2005 to 2009 on suspicion of involvement in the Rafik Hariri murder, but in April 2009, the STL ordered his release due to lack of evidence.
