Hezbollah challenges 1559 resolution
3/17/2005 10:53:00 AM GMT
Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah movement, says that
the group is not intending to disarm, ignoring the U.S. President
George W. Bush's call for the group to surrender its weapons.
Sheikh Nasrallah, moreover, stressed the importance of the group's
military role in protecting Lebanon, however, he expressed willingness
to hold disarmament talks with other political groups in the country.
"I am firm in keeping our arms because I believe the resistance is the
best option for defending Lebanon against Israeli threats," Nasrallah
said on Hezbollah's Al Manar satellite television station.
"We will sit around a table with the other Lebanese sides and talk.
"Everything is open for dialogue in Lebanon," Nasrallah said. "When we
say we are one country and have one future, we are ready to talk about
everything ... without foreign interference."
A U.S.-backed UN resolution demands all Lebanese armed group, including
Hezbollah, to disarm.
Nasrallah has suggested labeling Hezbollah as a resistance movement,
and not a militia, so that it is not subject to the requirements of the
resolution.
But, yesterday, the U.S. President insisted that "Hezbollah is on the
terrorist list for a reason, and remains on the terrorist list for a
reason. Our position's not changed on Hezbollah," said Bush.
Hezbollah leader, defends the group's right is keeping armed, saying
that it is essential to defend the country against the Israeli
occupying forces.
Sheikh Nasrallah asserts that Washington is acting on Israel's behalf
in trying to disarm Hezbollah.
20-30 Syrian workers killed
On Wednesday, Hezbollah's chief said that around 30 Syrian workers have
been killed in Lebanon in anti-Syrian attacks since the assassination
of the former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Al Hariri.
"I have information that 20 to 30 Syrian workers have been killed
recently... This is a disgrace," Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah told Al Manar
television.
Syria has been facing mounting pressure over its military presence in
Lebanon, specially after the killing of Al Hariri last month.
And despite claims by the U.S. and some Lebanese opposition groups that
Syria was somehow involved in Al Hariri's assassination, Syria denied
any role in it and agreed to withdraw its troops deployed in Lebanon.
Ever since the assassination, several Syrian workers complained that
they had been harassed by anti-Syrian Lebanese.

 Israeli occupying forces? In Libano? Ma a quando risale questo articolo?
Purtroppo, al 17 marzo del corrente anno (l'altro ieri). Cmq, lo sbandierare
motivi surreali (che qualcuno definisce, spiritosamente, "ideali") per
contrabbandare motivi materiali non è appannaggio esclusivo dei terroristi
di HA, no? Qual è il problema? Quel che conta, purtroppo, sono le intenzioni
(materiali) di Nasrallah. Shalom.
