(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - “For sure, their plan is doomed to failure,” he also said, in reference to March 14’s statement calling on Prime Minister Najib Mikati to voice his adherence to UN Security Council Resolution 1757 –which established the Special tribunal for Lebanon (STL) probing former PM Rafik Hariri’s 2005 assassination
“The March 14 parties’ [Sunday] meeting [at the Beirut Bristol Hotel] was made at the expense of the country and not for the country,” Aoun told the press following his bloc’s meeting.
He also said that March 14 will be held responsible for any international action against Lebanon.
“The Special Tribunal for Lebanon is circumstantial and not permanent. Work and development in our country is what is permanent.”
Leading figures of the March 14 coalition met on Sunday evening in Beirut and called on Mikati to either commit to the UN-backed STL or step down.
Last Thursday, the STL handed Attorney General Said Mirza arrest warrants for four members of the Iranian-and Syrian-backed Hezbollah in connection to the 2005 assassination of Rafik Hariri.
The whereabouts of the four remain unknown.
Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Saturday ruled out the arrest of the four members indicted by the tribunal. He also rejected "each and every void accusation" made by the Netherlands-based court, which he said was heading for a trial in absentia.
