Fatfat: Political Campaign against Suleiman after Opposition”s Terrorist Attacks

Sports and Youth Minister Ahmed Fatfat renewed his attacks against the Hizbullah-led opposition, accusing it of launching a political campaign against army commander Gen. Michel Suleiman following its “terrorist” attacks against the military.

 

“The opposition”s campaign began with terrorist attacks against the Lebanese army, then with a political campaign against the army commander and afterwards they commenced their attacks against Internal Security Forces and the rest of the spiritual leaders,” Fatfat said in an interview with the Kuwaiti daily Alseyassa.

 

“This means that someone is trying to assassinate the government in Lebanon,” Fatfat said.

He believed that Sunday”s unrests were the result of the political language that has dragged on for the past one and a half years.

 

“Lebanon is under a real war and a terrorist attack which started with (Syrian President) Bashar al-Assad”s Aug. 2006 speech when he ordered to use the resistance”s victory over Israel into local victory,” Fatfat went on.

 

“Since then, they have created a crisis under the slogan of partnership,” he added.

 

Fatfat also slammed Free Patriotic Movement leader Gen. Michel Aoun, accusing him of seeking “one goal which

is to reach the presidency. Nothing else concerns him.”
