The March 14-led opposition rejected turning the parliament and constitutional institutions into platforms from which Hizbullah launches campaigns against the international tribunal, the coalition’s sources said.

The sources told An Nahar daily published Friday that Hizbullah was using the state institutions to defend the four suspects that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon indicted in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s Feb. 2005 assassination.

They were referring to a press conference that Hizbullah MP Hassan Fadlallah held at the parliament building on Thursday to discredit the STL.

The lawmaker said that the indictment’s circumstantial evidence which is based on telecommunications data was unreliable.

His statement came two days after a similar press conference held by Hizbullah MP Mohammed Raad, who said that the U.S. and Israel drafted the indictment to pressure Hizbullah to yield to their hegemony.

The March 14 sources expressed frustration at Hizbullah for using the expertise of civil servants during Fadlallah’s press conference. Several experts and engineers from the telecom ministry backed the MP’s claims.

Put these terrorist, and drug lords back in prison where they should be, instead of destroying the future of Lebanese people in turnning war criminals into politicians.

And you call a gathering filled with Israeli collaborators, aka Hariri's Lebanon Never First, his Christian Sunnis and the two-headed low-life Jumblat a parliament? It should be called a Den of Hyenas and Snakes. Less the honorable Lebanese, this "parliament" would be properly called a detention center for these collaborators and thieves.

It's funny how with time people tend to forget that these are the same mobsters that assassinated several other Lebanese figures. They will not stop with their thirst for blood should you stand in their way. Barbaric? That's an understatement! They should be abolished from the planet with the likes of Gaddafi; Assad; Ahmadinejad and fellow Satan followers!
