BEIRUT, June 14 (KUNA) -- Murderers of former Lebanese Prime Minister,
Rafiq Al-Hariri, MP judge Walid Eido and their companions will be dragged to
prisons, leader of the Future Movement bloc at the Lebanese parliament, Saad
Al-Hariri said on Thursday.
Al-Hariri was addressing a mourning session for the Lebanese MP, Walid
Eido, his son and two companions killed in a huge blast in Beirut Wednesday.
The leader of the anti-Syria majority at the Parliament had earlier called
on Lebanese to turn out en masse for the funeral.
"Martyrs fell since they were following in the steps of Rafiq Al-Hariri,"
he told the huge political and popular gathering in a Beirut mosque.
"We fear none but God," Al-Hariri said, adding that the Lebanese people
would never be frightened or kneel down, and that the criminals "will be
dragged to prisons and justice, and only then justice will be done to Lebanon."
Al-Hariri noted that Beirut would always remain a symbol of Arabism.
Meanwhile, another MP for the Future Movement, Mohammad Qabbani called for
parliamentary by-elections to fail what he called a conspiracy targeting a
"the majority MPs through killing."
He accused president Emil Lahoud of taking part in the plan, and
consequently in the killings, for his refusal to sign the by-elections decree.
"The elections have to take place even if (president) Lahoud refuses," he
said.
Qabbani reiterated the Future Movement's support to the Lebanese military
in the battle against the "Fatah Al-Islam gang" rejecting any attempt to
"distract the army from its mission."
He also held the Arab and the international communities responsible for
protecting Lebanon against terrorism through preventing the smuggle of weapons
and fighters across the bvroders.(end)
