MP Sakr: Beirut airport was occupied by an outlaw


Former Head of Lebanon’s General Security Department Maj. Gen. Jamil Sayyed arrived in Beirut Saturday to a warm welcome from the Hezbollah backed opposition who escorted him home.

Sayyed, once again, launched a vehement attack against Prime Minister Saad Hariri, Attorney General Said Mirza, Police Chief Gen. Ashraf Rifi and Detliv Mhelis, former head of the U.N. investigation into the assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri.

“There is no indictment before Mhelis, Rifi and Mirza are tried,” he warned from Beirut airport.

Sayyed said during a press conference he held at the airport after returning from Paris: “False witnesses were recognized by PM Saad Hariri and we demand that they be held accountable under the law.”

“If false witnesses are not held accountable under the law, we shall settle the score against them in the street,” he warned.

“I place myself at the disposal of the Lebanese judiciary, but not at Mirza’s disposal,” Sayyed stressed.

On Friday, Sayyed requested that the Court of Cassation remove Mirza, Rifi and Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hasan from their posts.

Sayyed said he wants Mirza removed “due to the personal rivalry” between them.

As for Rifi and Hasan, Sayyed said he wants them removed because both men work as “law enforcers under Mirza.”

At the airport, Sayyed said Sunnis should realize that they “exploited” Rafik Hariri’s death to fight Syria and the Resistance.

He denied that the Opposition was preparing to wage a coup against the Lebanon regime.

“There is no coup or confrontations. But there are protests to support the State, the law and the true justice because there is no justice until the false witnesses are brought to justice,” he said.

Turning to Hariri, he warned: “Sheikh Saad, this issue will not come to an end until the criminals around you and held accountable.”

Earlier today Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah told New TV that “no one is capable of putting Sayyed in prison.”

“Sayyed has the right to live with dignity after the unjust political decision [to imprison him],” Fadlallah said, adding that Hezbollah wants the Lebanese judiciary to be fair and transparent.

“The Lebanese judiciary should penalize the witnesses who gave false testimony [to the international commission investigating the 2005 Hariri assassination],” Fadlallah added.

MP Okab Sakr told VOL following the arrival of Sayyed at the airport: “Beirut airport was occupied by an outlaw under the protection of groups of outlaws.”

He described Hezbollah’s support for Maj. Gen. Jamil Sayyed as a “symbol of fragmenting the state.”

Sayyed is a wanted man in Lebanon. Attorney General Judge Said Mirza demanded on Thursday summoning Sayyed for threatening State security and Prime Minister Saad Hariri. According to observers Hezbollah’s reception for Sayyed will be viewed as a direct challenge to the the Lebanese authorities ( specially the judiciary and the Internal Security Forces) and if it succeeds ( in its confrontation) it will be viewed as the end to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

    Attorney General , Judge Said Mirza should be removed from this case. Justice won’t be served if the general attorney is to question a suspect while he is being sued by the same suspect in another case. There is a conflict of interest. The Government or the justice ministry must appoint another judge to question Jamil sayyed.

    How can you bet on the army or the police who is more than 60% Shiaa?

    The only way to have peace in Lebanon is to have a dictator like saddam who will rule everyone by his boot.

    We do not deserve democarcy as our democarcy is being used against us.

    Freedom of speech is used to make the world laugh at us because we have so called Lebanese swearing on each other in front of the whole world without anyone stopping them becasue it is done under the name of FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

    We have politicians speaking in a Lebanese accent but with non-lebanese hearts or intentions… WALLAH what a shame…tfeh

      LEBORIGINE yes, agree ,but the worst is Aoun and his followers, this despicable person sold himself and his honor many times, there is no words to describe him, and I believe the report by the Kuwaiti newspaper is very true, as Aoun a month ago was calling Hezbollah to enter the Christian area and take it, Aoun is getting money from Iran .No one knows this man how dangerous and unstable mentally really, he’s a coward and as per many testimony of people and army people around him they tell will tell you he’s coward, and in life the most dangerous people are the cowards. He want to be president and he;s willing to kill for it, he killed and destroyed the Christian area for it in 1988-1990 ,just watch the Lebanon at War documentary,http://justice4lebanon.wordpress.com/2007/04/23/al-jazeeras-the-war-of-lebanon/
      and see how he sent many envoys to Assad the father requesting him to be president and when he rejected him he declared war on Syria ,and when Geagea accepted Mouawad he declared war on him, this man is very dangerous, we are lucky if god shorten his life and take him naturally today before tomorrow,during his war with LF in 1990 he took arms from Syria ,Elie Hobeika passed him arms ,on the intersection of Daraya ,arms and fuel were passed from Btegrine to kill and destroy Kleiaat and some officers in the Army objected they were shot by Aoun loyal soldiers in , the back , this man is beyond dirty , is a low scumbag and his name in history is going to be stain by the treason and what he did to weaken the Chritians

    I totally agree the criminal who sucked the blood of Lebanese. This Syyed is a monster just like the bigger Syyed sitting underground in Dahia. They’re all criminals and have no regard and respect for the law. I am sick and tired of you.
