Lebanese Forces Hits Back at Nasrallah
MP Antoine Zahra on Thursday said the Lebanese Forces Party is not involved in the case of the four missing Iranian diplomats.
Zahra was responding to a charge by Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah that the Lebanese Forces, which was the main Christian militia during the civil war, has the key to the mystery of the four Iranians who went missing during Israel”s 1982 invasion of Lebanon.
The LF militia was disbanded in 1990 after the end of the civil war, and a political party was formed later.
Zahra said "Nasrallah and Iran are aware that the LFP is not involved in the issue."
He said the four Iranians were apprehended at the Barbara checkpoint and "turned over to Elie Hobeika. The LFP knows nothing about this issue ever since."
"The Hobeika team should be asked about this issue, not the LFP," Zahra concluded.
