Alloush: Hariri Crime Witnesses Face Death Threat

MP Mustafa Alloush, member of the Mustaqbal Parliamentary Bloc, said Saturday witnesses to the 2005 assassination of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri face the death threat.

 

Allloush, in a newspaper interview, accused the so-called “regional axis” of seeking to assassinate such witnesses.

 

The phrase regional axis, in Lebanese political parlance, refers to Syria and Iran.

 

Such an axis, according to Alloush, “could also chose some personalities that could become witnesses and assassinate them one way or the other.”

 

Israel, according to Alloush, “could launch war on Lebanon.”

 

“Lebanon would not be spared in any war that would spark in the region due to the nature of Hizbullah and its affiliations,” Alloush added.
