“On the Eve of Rally Marking Third Anniversary of Al-Hariri’s Assassination, Sa’d Al-Hariri Launches Harsh Attack on Lebanese Opposition, Syria, Iran”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “With the approach of the third anniversary of the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq Al-Hariri, his son Sa’d Al-Hariri, who is Al-Mustaqbal party chairman and leader of the March 14 Forces, launched a harsh attack on the Lebanese opposition, which is headed by Hizbullah. His attack was also directed against Syria and Iran, which, he says, are trying to regain control over Lebanon.

At a February 7, 2008 press conference, Al-Hariri accused the Lebanese opposition of sabotaging every move that Lebanon made, in retaliation for the establishment of the international tribunal for the assassination, and in response to the withdrawal of the Syrian forces from Lebanon. He called upon the Lebanese people to participate in a mass rally on February 14, 2008 in downtown Beirut. Al-Hariri also stressed that the March 14 Forces would not stand idly by, and would not hesitate to confront Syria’s and Iran’s “black plan.”

The following are excerpts from Al-Hariri’s address, as published in the Lebanese daily Al-Mustaqbal. [1]

On February 14, We Will Raise Our Voices against the Return of Syrian Control over Lebanon”

Three Afghan nationals held at Nedumbaserry Airport (India)
Feb 13 2008

Kochi - Three Afghan nationals were arrested at the Nedumbaserry International Airport, near here, today for travelling on fake Mexican passports, Immigration officials said.

The three were earlier in the day deported from Kuwait after authorities there doubted their claim to be Mexican nationals. Immigration and other security officials interrogated the three for several hours and finally arrested them on charges of travelling on forged passports.

According to Immgiration officials, they were Afghan nationals trying to go to France. However, their real names have not been disclosed so far. The Mexican passports which they were carrying identified them as Antonio Lopez Juan (42), Javier Sanchez Alberto (20) and Atonio Lopez Ernesto (16). They had left from Nedumbaserry Airport on February 11 for Kuwait en route to France.

However, the emigration officials at Kuwait had found them to be suspects as they reportedly could not understand any Spanish. They also suspected the passports to be forged. The three were then deported to Nedumbaserry today. The three had reportedly arrived in New Delhi on January 23 this year, as per the stamps on their passports. However, there was some doubt about the authenticity of the arrival stamps on the passports also, emigration officials said.
