03/12/2010 Day after another, more “secrets” are revealed through the Wikileaks documents recently released, uncovering the “conspiracy” of some Lebanese with the West to target the Resistance.
The mentioned cable, dated September 2008 and obtained by website WikiLeaks and published by Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar, quoted Bellemare as asking then-US ambassador Sison for intelligence information as he was investigating the 2005 assassination of Lebanese former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri. "Bellemare showed a good understanding of the problems associated with complying ... but his frustration was nonetheless evident: 'You are the key player. If the U.S. doesn't help me, who will?,'" read the cable. According to the member of the Loyalty to the Resistance parliamentary bloc MP Hasan Fadlallah, the mentioned cable was a proof that Washington is manipulating the probe. "The information leaked on meetings between the prosecutor general of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon and the former US ambassador confirms what we have always said, that the US administration is using the court and the investigation committee as a tool to target the resistance," MP Fadlallah told Agence France Presse.
"This is a direct result of the failure of Israel's US-backed military offensives against Lebanon," the Hezbollah MP pointed out.
