Sujud Incident is Attack against Lebanese Army
Former President and Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel on Monday said the helicopter shooting incident over Sujud hills in south Lebanon is an "attack against the Lebanese army and its role."
"The issue is not over by just handing over one the culprits to the judiciary," Gemayel said.
He also rejected the principle of forming a committee between representatives from the Lebanese army and "any status quo side," a reference to Hizbullah.
"The logic of joint committees which takes us back to a past which is not yet forgotten by the Lebanese people is totally rejected at the political, security, national and humanitarian level," Gemayel said.
He said he agrees with President Michel Suleiman to launch national dialogue "as soon as possible so that a common understanding on the concept of state sovereignty is reached."
