Lebanese President: Hizbullah will not disarm for now

Lebanese President Emile Lahoud said Hizbullah will not disarm as long as there is a state of war between Lebanon and Israel, because the "national resistance' weapons are Lebanon's primary source of power."

Lahoud was interviewed on a Cuban television show covering the seventh anniversary of Israel' withdrawal from Southern Lebanon. "We adhere to Lebanon's right to stay powerful until a comprehensive and just peace is achieved. When that happens, there will be no need for the resistance and its weapons" said Lahoud.
