Miqati’s Sources Snap Back at March 14: They Are After More Bickering
Sources close to Premier Najib Miqati have accused the March 14 forces of truncating his remarks on the incidents in the northern port city of Tripoli to create tension.
In remarks to al-Mustaqbal newspaper published Sunday, the sources expressed surprise at “not taking Miqati’s statement seriously in an attempt to fabricate a new source of political differences.”
They said his statements at a press conference made Friday included a sentence that “he does not hold anyone responsible for the incidents in Tripoli and that the investigation would reveal everything.”
“They only took part of the statement to continue the campaign” against him, the sources said about March 14. “They analyzed things in a way that suits their campaign,” they added.
The March 14 general-secretariat accused Miqati on Saturday of hinting that the opposition was behind the deadly fighting in Tripoli. It reminded the prime minister that he should act rather than make press conferences.
“It is our right to ask Miqati and his cabinet that includes four ministers from the city of Tripoli to take immediate measures to make Tripoli an arms free town,” the general-secretariat said.
