In Lebanon, calls to sue false witnesses who misled the investigations in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri’s case and harmed the Lebanese-Syrian ties continue…

(AhlulBayt News Agency) - On Friday, Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir joined the calls and stressed that the false witnesses must be held accountable according to the law.
 
"I know nothing about false witnesses, but any false witness should be held accountable," Sfeir told reporters at Beirut Airport before heading for Rome where he will take part in the Middle East Synod.
 
He welcomed a visit by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Lebanon, planned for next Wednesday. On plans to visit Damascus, however, Sfeir said "the relationship with Damascus is still as it is. There isn't anything new."
 
Sfeir said he has to mull Tehran visit after Iran's Ambassador extended an invitation to the Patriarch to visit Iran.
