Hizbullah campaign against Lebanese judiciary abandoned?
Hizbullah has decided not to look at the Special Tribunal for Lebanon from a "suspicious point of view," according to Hizbullah security sources.
The sources, in remarks published by the daily al-Balad on Sunday, said Hizbullah "from now on will look at the international tribunal from a point of view based on the principle of the submission of evidence against suspects."
Meanwhile, a source from the majority March 14 coalition told al-Balad that Hizbullah has abandoned its campaign against the Lebanese judiciary after finding out that using the generals” case for election gains "has not been fruitful."
Lebanon”s top four generals were released April 29 from nearly four years in custody in Lebanon without charge.
A Hizbullah source, however, rejected remarks claiming the Shiite group has used the generals” case for political gains.
"Hizbullah”s support for the generals was an attempt to point out the grave mistake committed against them by the Lebanese judiciary and simultaneously a message to the international tribunal on how to deal with the case."
In a related event, Hizbullah slammed U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon for "acquitting the Israeli enemy of the series of massacres and attacks committed against the Gaza Strip in its latest aggression."
