Lebanese official accuses Hezbollah of planning coup
Member of PM Harir's 'March 14' movement says Shiite group trying to bring Lebanon back to time prior to Syrian withdrawal
Fares Soueid, a senior official in Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Al-Hariri's "March 14" movement, accused Hezbollah on Wednesday of attempting a "coup d'etat."
According to Soueid, the group is trying to bring Lebanon back to its status prior to the Syrian army's withdrawal in 2005.
"Lebanon is in the midst of an aggressive coup attempt aimed at turning the clock back to the time before the independence intifada of March 14, 2005," he told reporters.
"Hezbollah has exposed this plot by rejecting all of the political compromise offers it was presented with."
Soueid added that Hezbollah is trying to overthrow the international court of law established to address the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Al-Hariri.
