Four Generals Innocent
Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun on Monday said the Taef Accord is not a holy book, it suffers from several holes and "there should be no problem in amending it."
"We don”t want to worship the Taef," Aoun told reporters after a meeting by members of his Change and Reform Bloc at his residence in suburban Rabiyeh.
Aoun also asked the Phalange Party for an "official and public apology" for having blamed him for the killing of Industry Minister Pierre Gemayel in 2006.
He claimed to possess "correspondence stating that the international investigation committee does not have evidence to justify the apprehension of the four generals" charged with involvement in the 2005 assassination of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri.
"I don”t think that such ranking security generals can commit a crime," Aoun said.
He added that the "Lebanese judiciary should bail them out."
He urged MPs to vote for a bill to separate the holding of cabinet posts from seats in the house.
Aoun said his forthcoming visit to Syria would not lead to "opening an investigation into the topic of missing citizens" in Syrian jails "despite my interest in the issue."
