Syria-Lebanon
Lahoud rules out freezing of Hamas accounts
2003-09-26
They’ve flip-flopped so many times, but this seems to be their final answer - Emile? Would you like a life-line?
Lebanese President Emile Lahoud has ruled out any Lebanese compliance with U.S. calls to freeze the accounts of leaders of the Palestinian radical group Hamas, which he described as a resistance movement against Israeli occupation. He was quoted by the Lebanese press as telling a cabinet meeting Thursday night that Lebanon "has a clear position with regard to the Palestinian resistance, which results from the Israeli occupation, and while there is occupation there must be resistance."
Puppet-boy speaks....like they care about the Paleos..meh
They care deeply about the thought of Hamas blowing up their cars...
On August 22, U.S. President George W. Bush said his administration had moved to block and freeze the assets of six top Hamas leaders and five groups believed to aid the radical Palestinian movement.
Sounds like we need to freeze Lebanese assets and blockade them and Syria..I thought you were either with us or the terrorists
An avalanche of protests was triggered in Lebanon after the central bank circulated a note to financial institutions in the country on September 8 asking for any information on Hamas-related accounts. The condemnation also sparked fears for the future of Lebanon’s highly valued bank secrecy policy.
We need to crush their banking industry - it’s a clearing house for illegal (i.e.: Arafat) and terrorist funds
Lahoud was also quoted as telling ministers Thursday that Lebanon "declines to act against the Palestinian resistance or against banking secrecy."
"Don’t kill us!"
