Aoun Accuses Former Government of “Collusion with Terrorism”
Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun on Monday accused the former government of "collusion with terrorism" and vowed to carry on with political escalation.
"I believe the former government was involved in terrorism since it did not take any measures to stop it from spreading," Aoun told reporters in Rabiyeh after the weekly meeting of his Change and Reform parliamentary bloc.
He demanded "clarifications as well as practical measures," pledging to go on with "our political escalation."
Aoun said the issue of appointing directors to key security posts would likely be finalized next Thursday.
