01/07/2010 Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem stressed on Thursday that the recent discovery of a spy working for the Israeli enemy within a mobile phone operating company is an example of Israel's penetration of Lebanon's internal scene.
"If a number of agents were sentenced to death … then we will put an end to those agents who underestimate legal verdicts," Sheikh Qassem said.
His eminence explained that previous sentences were not harsh enough, which has therefore created a new generation of spies.
Sheikh Qassem said that recent developments "have proven that the real danger against Lebanon is Israel, and no other issue has a priority over this matter."
"It repeatedly violates Lebanese sovereignty and no one in the world opposes it. Israel is the real danger and if we don't confront it with unity and the execution of the agents, then Israel will increase its hostile acts and violations," his eminence stressed.
President Sleiman Ready to Sign Death Sentence against Spies
Six days on his arrest, all Lebanon is talking about him and about his "treason," the most sensitive one, "treason of the homeland."
Investigations with Charbel were ongoing on Wednesday after confessions made by him showed the seriousness of the work he did for the Israeli enemy over the past 14 years in his capacity as both an Alfa employee and communications ministry staffer. But Lebanese, who couldn't yet overcome the shock status, want him to be hanged so that all his "patriots" learn the lesson.
After Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah and Progressive Socialist leader MP Walid Jumblatt, came the turn of President Michel Sleiman. Speaking to reporters ahead of the weekly cabinet session, Sleiman, who didn't clearly say whether he backs the death penalty, said that he would sign any death sentence that reaches him.
President Sleiman earlier lauded the Lebanese army for arresting the new spy. He said that the seizure of Alfa's Charbel Qazzi was part of a series of arrests that the army made in uncovering cells spying for Israel's Mossad.
Also on Wednesday, the Alfa company finally broke its silence and declared its full coordination with the Lebanese Army in dealing with the case, admitting that the arrested spy was one of its employees who used to work in the technical department, without undermining the sensitiveness of the date he might have reached.
Meanwhile, well-informed sources told Al-Manar that the Intelligence Directorate within the Lebanese Army carried out a series of meeting in the Telecoms Ministry, that included Minister Charbel Nahhas as well as technicians in the ministry, in an attempt to assess the damage and ensure the security of Lebanon's Telecoms sector.
The sources also told Al-Manar that the investigations with spy Qazzi were ongoing, saying that they were intensively executed by experts focusing on the technical part.
Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar said on Wednesday that the arrested spy used to possess the secret passwords that allow him to have access to any computer system with an Internet connection inside and outside the company building, as well as to the private Alfa network data, meaning that the Israeli Mossad was able to control the company's data from any place in the world, including the occupied territories.
In parallel, well-informed sources told Al-Akhbar that the arrested spy has profound knowledge in the company's technical secrets. He underwent several advanced training courses in the company Alfa (previously known as Cellis). Accordingly, the Lebanese army intelligence unit assigned a technical group to study his technical and practical potentials.
The agent not only facilitated the enemy's mission to eavesdrop on phone conversations and allow it to determine the phones users' location, but also has the ability to manipulate cell phone data by simply adding or deleting any information he wants. He also had the ability to record fake telephone data that do not exist in first place.
HEZBOLLAH: ISRAEL ABLE TO SOW STRIFE THROUGH TELECOMS!
The head of the Loyalty to the Resistance parliamentary bloc MP Mohamad Raad warned that the Israeli enemy was able to sow discord among the Lebanese by targeting Lebanon's telecommunications network. He said the state and the society were being targeted at the political and security levels and only the resistance was the defense force against such attacks.
Raad said that the seizure of the Alfa spy "unveiled that the enemy is controlling all communications in this country" and is capable of sowing strife through such calls." He also accused Israel of seeking to "make plots against the people."
