Jumblat Holds Sehnaoui Responsible for Halting Probe in Geagea Attempted Murder

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat held Telecommunications Minister Nicolas Sehnaoui responsible for halting the investigations concerning the attempted assassination of Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea.

Jumblat told al-Akhbar newspaper that Sehnaoui is responsible for preventing the security authorities from acquiring the telecom data to continue the probe into Geagea’s murder attempt.

He described his meeting with U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman as excellent.

According to the daily, the PSP chief and Feltman considered the sniper attack on Geagea as “very serious.”

The U.S. official arrived in Beirut late Tuesday and later met with Jumblat at his residence in Clemenceau.

The LF leader said in April that he escaped an assassination attempt when a sniper fired at his residence in Maarab.

The telecom data usually includes the location of a caller and his movements, which Sehnaoui argues invades people’s liberties.

Sehnaoui and the fpm as accessories to this murdor attempt, and they should be tried for their crimes.

And you wouldn't understand that in any country, when an investigation subpoenas phone records, they are required to comply.

you kidding me right ! you live in Lebanon what the hell you know about democracy and freedom , is only a convenient to who ever hold a gun , it is a slogan and empty words . you have Michel Aoun who talks about freedom and privacy as he sees it and anything he does not agree with is wrong . you have Hezbollah who put a gun to your head tells you we are the resistance and the only thing they are resisting is your freedom and your privacy . if you only can see what the real freedom and democracy is than you will realize what a prison you people live in

@karim
stop misleading yourself and others and understand that the required data is not equal to infringment on privacy and civil liberties.
once more I explain the difference:
- the data is about which number called which number
- the data is about from a number called another number.
so put it back in your head and straighten your mind :)
not providing the data means helping the perpatrators of this crime, thus criminally charged.

It is good to see Jumblatt back in the fold. He knows well that if the Assad Regime in Syria survives, after all dissidents have been killed in Syria, after their families have been killed and after their homes have been destroyed, then Assad will direct his proxies in Lebanon, namely Hezbollah, or Wahab or any of the other cast of characters, to liquidate those who spoke against him in Lebanon. First among these will be Jumblatt. The shots fired at Geagea were not intended to kill, otherwise, they would have. But were intended to give warning, not just to Geagea, but to Hariri, Jumblatt and the others as well.

I wonder whether Minister Sehnaoui would have been so keen to protect "people's liberties" if the assassination attempt had targeted General Aoun?

Missing cedars 04 May 2012, 07:20

There is no such thing as warning shots with the terrorists.
