March 14 Rejects Moussawi’s Efforts to ‘Terrorize’ MPs

High-ranking March 14 sources said Thursday that the language used by Hizbullah MP Nawwaf Moussawi in his dispute with Phalange lawmaker Sami Gemayel was rejected and was a reaction approved by his party.

“What happened during the session was an attempt to terrorize” MPs, but the Hizbullah lawmaker’s efforts failed after Gemayel and several other opposition members snapped back at him, the sources said.

They were referring to a verbal clash between Moussawi and Gemayel during a parliamentary Question and Session held on Wednesday.

The issues stirred by the Phalange party member during the session, including the attempts of Hizbullah to install a telecom network in Tarshish and the alleged monitoring of movements in the Metn area, have brought the issue back to the forefront of political life, the sources told An Nahar.

They said that the March 14-led opposition is now determined to take its campaign against Hizbullah’s alleged violations to higher levels.

Moussawi told Gemayel during the session that his “shoe is more honorable” than him after the Phalange lawmaker said: “We want protection against the resistance which is present in the streets and everywhere.”

The Hizbullah MP said Monday that CIA officers were meeting Lebanese agents in restaurants and nightclubs in the Metn towns of Dbayeh and Jounieh.
