Local Editor

Deputy News and Political Program Manager at Aljadeed TV, Karma Khayyat, revealed that new recordings will be broadcasted starting Thursday, part of the "Truth Leaks" series broadcasted earlier on the assassination of former PM Rafiq Hariri.

The recordings to be broadcasted are expected to include, fist of all, a five-hour recording for former Defense Minister Elias El Murr, followed by others for former MP Eli Ferezli, Maj. Gen. Jamil Sayyed, and false witness Hussam Hussam.

In an interview with Sawt Al Mada radio, Khayyat confirmed that her TV station possesses the recordings for some time now, but the examination of the sounds and voices took some time before becoming ready to be broadcasted.

Concerning what Special Tribunal for Lebanon's General Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare said, claiming that broadcasting these leaks is considered to be a breach of law, Khayyat said that Bellemare should look for the breach inside the tribunal, clarifying that those were official documents that were leaked to public.

In this context, Karma Khayyat referred that the CBC news and other Medias that leaked information about the STL investigations, have breached the law.

Karma stated that she is ready for any investigation on this level, but stressed that the source will not be revealed.

Al-Manar TV Refutes Hariri’s Claim His Father Paid the Costs of Sharaa Treatment

19/01/2011 “My father did not like [Syrian Vice President] Farouq al-Sharaa.. The people do not feel friendly towards him and my father in spite of that bear the costs of his treatment when he came from Damascus to the American University Hospital. My father was very tense and asked his private doctors to treat him and they were the best doctors despite the Sharaa had always had political problems with my father,” Head of the caretaker government Saad Hariri was recorded as saying during a sit-down with a UN investigator.

Al-Jadeed Channel broadcast late Sunday Hariri’s recorded sit-down with UN investigator Lajmi Mohammad Ali on July 30, 2007, which was authenticated by Hariri’s office.



Hariri’s statement was refuted by Al-Manar TV that “Hariri simply invented not only political facts but also personal ones that didn’t even happen.”

Al-Manar obtained a copy of the check, that worth thirty thousand dollars, that Sharaa had paid for the hospital on December 8, 1999.

The hospital rejected the check considering that it’s an honor that Sharaa being treated in the hospital. But he didn’t accept this gesture since the Syrian government doesn’t accept such a gesture from a non-governmental side. So, the Syrian Vice President donated the money to the University’s scholarships fund.


The story did not end at this point, said the report yesterday, another document, which is a formal letter from the American University in Beirut to Sharaa, on the same date, in which it thanked him for the donation and hoped he get well soon.
