"...Nasrallah suggested that if his evidence was not taken seriously, the next press conference would be more politically damaging to Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri and his allies, including naming politicians close to the younger Hariri whom he alleges have tampered with tribunal evidence. A Lebanese military prosecutor today charged Fayez Karam of the Free Patriotic Movement, a Christian political party allied with Hizbollah, with spying for Israel. Karam was formerly the head of a counter-terrorism and espionage unit in the army. A series of arrests of suspected spies in recent weeks had added to domestic tension and to Hizbollah's accusations. Nasrallah appears to be offering the prime minister a way out of potential crisis, if he and others agree to lay the blame for the assassination on Israel. If they do not, the likelihood of government collapse and the return to violence will increase unless a regional agreement can be reached which moderates Hizbollah's response..."
