Jumblat Warns Against Bugging Communications by Ministry
Progressive Socialist party leader Walid Jumblat on Monday warned that allies of Syria and Iran could "strike at the Doha Accord" prior to the forthcoming elections.
Jumblat, in an article to be published Tuesday by the PSP”s weekly al-Anbaa, also praised the stand voiced by President Michel Suleiman during the recent Doha meeting, especially his adherence to the Arab peace Initiative.
"The consultative gathering held in Doha last week achieved only a decision to severe ties with Israel, which did not require a summit, or even a semi-summit," Jumblat wrote.
Jumblat also warned against "the reported setting up of a new monitoring department at the ministry of communications … It could aim at bugging calls and blocking efforts by the International Committee probing the Hariri crime."
"Do they want to block the International tribunal?" Jumblat asked.
