Indeed, its behavior seems to be even more suspicious than one could expect following the speech delivered by Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah last Friday to dismantle the link between the recently-discovered spying networks and the international investigations carried by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon. During the same speech, Hezbollah Secretary General submitted a meaningful inquiry on whether the intelligence bureau had previous data on Telecoms spy Charbel Qazzi's involvement with the Israeli enemy.
According to Lebanese analyst Hassan Olleik, the inquiry is not fortuitous.
"In 2006, and under the demand of former chief of the Information Branch General Wissam AlHassan, Hezbollah has delivered a list of names of people suspected for working in the interest of the Israeli enemy. But no response was registered."
Olleik noted, in an article published in Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar, that ISF official Haytham Sahmarani, arrested in 2009 by the Lebanese army for charges of spying for the Israeli enemy, was one of the people whose names figures in Hezbollah list. "Since then, the crisis of trust between Hezbollah and the ISF is more than acceptable," he concluded.
In the same context, Al-Akhbar chief editor Ibrahim ElAmine pointed to the efforts to separate the two issues, deployed by the Internal Security Forces and the March 14 coalition forces (or the remaining of it).
