[VIDEO] ‘STL aims to destabilize Lebanon’
The Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) was set up by the US to create tension between the Lebanese factions and weaken their resistance against Israel, says a political analyst.
“The STL, [as an] international tribunal, [was] constituted in order to damage and re-win Lebanon and to find strife between sects in order to hit the [Hezbollah] Resistance [Movement] because the resistance was able to face [and counter] the Israeli hostilities and Israeli aggressions against Lebanon,†Mohsen Saleh said in an interview with Press TV on Saturday.
“This entire story shows that this is a plot. This is a conspiracy against the resistance,†he added.
The controversial STL, which has been investigating former Lebanese premier Rafiq Hariri’s death for the past four years with the help and support of Washington, submitted a sealed indictment and arrest warrants to the Lebanese Justice Ministry on June 30.
The pro-Western Future Television owned by the Future Movement of the victim’s son Sa’ad Hariri said that the indictment had named four members of the Lebanese resistance movement of Hezbollah.
Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah rejected the allegations, saying the indictments were premeditated and politically motivated.
He presented new documents on Saturday indicating that the STL’s computers and their documents were not directly sent to The Hague from Beirut, but transferred via Israel.
