Wahhab Confident in Syrian Army’s Capabilities, Vows to Fight to Protect Syria

Tawhid movement leader Wiam Wahhab has vowed to defend Syria against anti-regime protestors and expressed his confidence in the Syrian army’s capability to prevent a security shakeup.

During a visit to the Syrian town of al-Saboura, Wahhab slammed what he called a plot aimed at shaking the country’s security. Such a scheme would inflame the region from Iraq all the way to the Palestinian territories, he warned.

“The plot against Syria is big and ongoing but it would end for several reasons,” Wahhab said. The Syrian army which “prevented the division of Lebanon will definitely prevent anyone to play with the security of Syria,” he added.

Wahhab stressed that the majority of Lebanese are supporting the Syrian regime, vowing “to fight with our fists, arms and chests to protect Syria.”

“We won’t let it fall,” the former minister said.
