Head of Democratic Gathering MP Walid Jumblatt has continued his hallucination renewing speaking about his nightmares and accusing Hizbullah of trying to assassinate him.
In a news conference on Saturday in his residence in Mukhtara in Mount Lebanon, Jumblatt accused the Airport Security department of loyalty to Hizbullah, called for banning flights by Iranian jetliners and said the Iranian ambassador should be asked to Leave Lebanon.
Jumblatt, also accused the Hizbullah-controlled Jihad al-Binaa institute of maintaining "a base" overlooking Beirut airport. He claimed Hizbullah has built its own communications network that also is linked to Syria.
He claimed such practices by Hizbullah were tantamount to declaring its own state. Methods applied to monitor the possible smuggling of weapons through Beirut airport in line with UNSCR 1701 are "worthless as long as commander of the airport security department is penetrated by Hizbullah" Jumblatt added.
Jumblatt alleged that Hizbullah's security chief Wafiq Safa practices "security control over Beirut Airport and he decides whether it is allowed to the Army and police to move." "They can practice abductions and assassinations along the airport road or runway number 17," he added.
He accused what he called "Syria's gangs" of killing chief of the army's military operations Gen. Francois Hajj, adding that areas off limits to state security are "reservoirs for booby trapped cars."
He claimed the police department's counter-terrorism expert Wissam Eid had been assassinated "following his success in detecting certain communication related to the (Former PM Rafik) Hariri assassination."
Jumblatt said he has decided to disclose such information warning that he and Head of the Future Parliamentary bloc MP Saad Hariri could be targets of assassination.
He continued his hallucination accusing Syrian President Bashar Assad's Regime of possible involvement in the Feb. 12 assassination of Resistance's military commander Imad Moghnieh "being a witness to the Hariri assassination" in 2005.
Meanwhile, Lebanese political sources refuted such accusations confirming to daily As-Safir on Saturday that there are only two runways at Beirut Airport, the first is the eastern one which is not used but in the exceptional aerial situations and the second (Runway 17) which is used by more than 54 international airlines in addition to the national ones.
The sources said that many international and regional sides have examined the airport, including the US side and some countries taking part in the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL). They added that the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has sent a specialized security team to the country where it toured the airport and the runways and issued a report that has been internationally adopted saying that Beirut Airport enjoys all the international security standards and specifications.
