Nasrallah blasts STL, says Hezbollah 4 unjustly accused http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Politics/2011/Jul-02/Hezbollah-chief-to-address-Hariri-probe-indictment.ashx

“There will not be sectarian strife in Lebanon, or between Sunnis and Shiites,” the Hezbollah chief said, accusing some Christians in the rival March 14 coalition of harboring dreams of such scenarios.During the speech Nasrallah questioned the credibility of STL Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare and criticized the prosecutor’s team of investigators, whom Nasrallah claimed had ties to Western intelligence agencies and had worked against the resistance.“If Bellemare was fair, he would have at least employed objective experts and advisers with no animosity or prejudice against any party that they are investigating,” Nasrallah said, adding that one of Bellemare’s consultants was an agent for the Central Intelligence Agency.

“One of Bellemare's consultants is a high-ranking officer in the CIA who [we] have accused of working against Hezbollah for 15 years and followed Imad Mughniyeh and is involved in the CIA massacre in Beer Hasan [in Lebanon], which resulted in the death of dozens of people,” Nasrallah said.

The Hezbollah chief’s speech, which lasted over an hour, was interspersed with video presentations with evidence claiming to show how members of the STL had affiliations with Western intelligence agencies, including an Australian with alleged ties to a U.S. intelligence agency, a British investigator, claimed to be an expert on fighting Islamic terrorism, a former American officer, a French-Lebanese legal consultant for the STL who allegedly worked against the resistance and Robert Baer, who Nasrallah said was a CIA agent.
