Aoun Issues Own Charge Sheet in Hariri Crime
Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun said the International tribunal would "charge parties" that are not already blamed for the 2005 assassination of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri.
Aoun, in an interview with the Syrian al-Dunia Television, did not attribute his information about the Hariri investigation carried out behind closed doors by a U.N. commission.
Aoun also defended four generals held in connection with the Hariri crime, saying they are "political detainees."
He said his forthcoming visit to Syria is "important to develop relations between the Lebanese and Syrian peoples."
On Hizbullah, Aoun said: "If all mankind told me it is a terrorist organization I would say no they are a resistance group … they are Lebanese citizens who founded a party to defend their land."
