"نيويوركر": أدلة مقنعة في لاهاي أن حكومة الأسد وايران متورطان باغتيال الحريري

Read this story in English W460

نشرت مجلة "نيويوركر" الاميركية أن المدعين في المحكمة الدولية يملكون أدلة مقنعة على أن حكومة الرئيس (السوري) بشار الاسد متورطة في اغتيال رئيس الوزراء الاسبق رفيق الحريري ورفاقه.

ونسب الكاتب ديكستر فيلكنز في مقال طويل له عن قائد " فيلق القدس" التابع للحرس الثوري الايراني "الباسدران" الجنرال قاسم سليماني الى مسؤول كبير في المحكمة أنه هناك أسبابا للشك في الايرانيين أيضاً، موضحا أن "نظريتنا في القضية هي أن حزب الله ضغط على الزناد (نفذ)، لكنه لم يكن ليستطيع أو ليفعل ذلك من دون مباركة سوريا وايران ودعمهما اللوجيستي".

ولفت الى أن "أحد الهواتف التي يعتقد أن القتلة استخدموها أجرى 12 اتصالا على الاقل بايران قبل عملية الاغتيال وبعدها" الا أن المحققين أبلغوا اليه أنهم لا يعرفون بمن في ايران حصل الاتصال، وأنهم لم يستطيعوا اقناع الاستخبارات الغربية بمساعدتهم.

كذلك، نقل فيلكنز عن مسؤولي استخباراتي رفيع المستوى أن "عملاء ايرانيين سمعوا يتحدثون قبل عملية الاغتيال بدقائق".

وقال: "كان هناك ايرانيون يديرون عملية الاغتيال عبر الهاتف".

ونقل المسؤول السابق في وكالة الاستخبارات المركزية "سي اي اي" روبرت باير: "إذا كانت ايران فعلا متورطة، فلا بد من أن يكون سليماني في قلب هذه العملية".

في 14 شباط 2005 قتل الحريري و22 آخرين في تفجير هز قرب فندق السان جورج وتكلف المحكمة الدولية الخاصة بلبنان في لاهاي بالتحقيق في اغتياله.

وبحسب القرار الاتهامي الصادر عن المحكمة فان اربعة عناصر من حزب الله ضالعون في هذا الاعتداء وصادرة بحقهم مذكرات توقيف من المحكمة الخاصة بلبنان تم تسليمها في 30 حزيران 2011 الى السلطات اللبنانية اضافة الى نشرات حمراء صادرة عن الانتربول ,وحددت المحكمة الجمعة 14 كانون الثاني المقبل موعدا مبدئيا لبدء المحاكمات الغيابية.

This is true because the Iranian terrorist group in Lebanon never does anything without their master Iran's revolutionary guards blessing and no one could do anything in Lebanon back then without Syrian approval

Well, I've been saying this for years. Hezbollah is merely a minor division of the Iranian Republican Guards force. Obviously, Hezbollah could not carry out the assassination of a former Prime Minister without the orders coming directly from Iran.

Apparently Iran is also in charge of Syria now, and they are running the war there.

Throughout history, there have been evolutions from "kingdoms" to "dictatorships" to "democracy". Generally, people hate their dictators much more than they hate their kings. Eventually the GCC countries will change, however the dictator first will fall in Syria and then in Iran as well.

Imagine- if you isolate the incident and make your decision on a single factor of "who benefited" then you can pretty much blame anyone. However, let's be realistic here! take a step back and look at all the assassinations that have occurred. who has benefited? who was caught red handed before and after? who has done this 20 times or so and benefited from it? just because there was repercussions on this occasions does not free them of any involvement. If I had to bet my life on it, I would without any hesitation say Syria in collaboration with Iran and logistical help from HA.

I have no right to speak because I am not impartial. I should be very thankful for all the murders and assassinations Syria caused upon us and therefor which renders my opinion useless.on the contrary , I should be stupid enough to ignore everything including all evidence and look idiotic with all kinds ridiculous conspiracy theories and spend my entire day trying to exonerate them.

Hey bore, you need to understand the difference between "copying" and "ridiculing". If someone else posts as "the_roar", then they are copying you. If someone posts with only a portion of your name, it means they are probably ridiculing or mimicking you, not copying you.

For example, the name Roaring Flamethrower is not a copy of your name. Clearly, RFT is ridiculing you and fifi, he is not copying you. Please try to understand the difference with your 3rd grade logic.

i think israel did it, in collaboration with saudi. that was the best way of starting the shia/sunna strife that is unfolding today.
it radicalized sunnis and give them a reason to hate shias. saudi's extremist influence had grown manyfold since, and israel is happoy to see us hating, maybe soon killing, each other.

the-roar, that is the least compelling argument I have ever read. You really never heard of gambling and losing. The correlation between selling and buying shares is an awful argument. Syria has been behind many assassinations that has gone unpunished, Bashir being one. This time, they thought this assassination will go away unnoticed, like many others, accept, Harriri is strongly linked to Saudi Monarchy and you killed the wrong guy, hence, they world cared this time and continues to follow through. It may have taken forever, it may never result in anything more than convictions, it may create strife in the Arab world and by now, many really don't care any more, but at the end of the day, be wiser than to question the judgement that will come from the tribunal, believe it or not, the justice system there may be unfair but credible for sure. Off course you may chose to ignore the indisputable evidence when presented and solely place the blame on Israel, that will not change the truth.

Momo thinks Saudi Arabia killed Rafik Hariri (in cooperation with Israel).

Brilliant theory!!!! You are a genius Momo.

Thumb arzak-ya-libnan 07:52 ,2013 أيلول 26

Roar. Syria committed many assassinations without repercussions. They could have thought this is another one that nobody would care about.
Harirri was advocating for Syria to leave Lebanon the last few years and Syria had nothing to lose since he would have gotten the majority in legally requesting them to leave. (Jumblat had already called for the same thing).
Syria and HA "intel" had everything on lock down. And this act could NOT have happened without their blessing and compliance (if anyone other than them committed this crime). To accuse Saudi who has no history of assassinations like the Syrians do is just silly.

Thumb arzak-ya-libnan 07:57 ,2013 أيلول 26

Then. Why don't you take into account the assassination of Eid? The intel this guy collected from phone records that had implicated HA is confirmed fact and being used by the STL now. Why would saudi. That wants it to appear that HA did it kill the guy that is delivering that?
Next we had nassy coming up on tv and showing us footage of the Israeli drone of nahr il kalb in the 90s trying to convince us they were monitoring Hariri. A lame attempt at best.

@roar Asking who benefited from the crime and who lost the most to deduce that Israel benefited the most and Syria the least so therefore Israel must have committed it is like saying that if you go and kill someone and you go to jail because of evidence incriminating you then you can't possibly be the perpetrator because you lost the most! What kind of logic is that?

Also the convincing evidence also shown that North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela are linked to the assassination. Actually, without these, Emile Lahoud, Imad Marma, Wiam Wahab, Suleiman Franjieh and the Qandil Brothers could not have been able to execute it alone. More convincing evidence shall be LEAKED as time goes by and the farce gets bigger and bigger and bigger.

When you commit a crime, you don't think about who will benefit if you get caught. No one could have anticipated the Cedar Revolution of March 14, or the forced withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon.

That's why they cooked up the Abu Adass story, to blame it on a Sunni fundamentalist takfiri.

Such a stupid argument that that Syria or Hezbo couldn't have killed Hariri because they didn't "benefit" from it.

First of all, of course they benefited. Rafik had promoted 1559, to demand Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon. Rafik also did not support the extension of Lahoud's term. Rafik told others before his death that Bashar threatened him after saying he wouldn't support Lahoud. Bashar followed thru on his threat.

All the assassinations after Rafik benefited Syria, as they were all anti-Assad, so by your logic, Assad must have done it (in cooperation with the hizzies and Iran).

Secondly, your argument is like saying OJ didn't kill his wife's boyfriend because he didn't benefit from it. Or any criminal that got sent to jail didn't commit the crime because they didn't benefit from it.

It's the most idiotic, asinine, childish excuse to say Syria and Hezbo didn't kill Hariri because they didn't "benefit" from the crime.

Do you think Rafik Hariri would have allowed May 7 to happen?
Do you think he would have permitted Veto Power to the opposition?
Do you think M8 camp would have overthrown the legitimate government if Rafik was still alive?
Do you think Mikati would have formed an M8 government without Future Movement if Rafik was alive today?
Do you think the deserter ex-general would have any part in government if Rafik was not killed?

Tell me again who benefited from Rafik's murder?

Who sent Samaha?
Who ordered the Tripoli bombings?

Two things that me in the comments posted here are either:
1. We have so many stupid people in Lebanon that will follow the orders of their commanders and militia leaders blindly without a shred of independent intellect.
2. So much money is being spent on propaganda and information wars hoping out of the millions of people they reach that it will stick to few of them, or at least keep their supporters oblivious to the truth.

I ask every person on this form to talk to their conscious, consider all the events that happened in Lebanon for the past decade. I ask them to find out in their hearts what kind of Lebanon do they want and how their actions are impacting it.
