Former Prime Minister Fouad Siniora believed: “The crime of the bombing of the port of Beirut, which occurred on August 4, is against the crime of the time, as it is considered one of the three largest non-nuclear explosions that occurred in the world. It is a crime that carries many elements of suspicion, suspicion and serious doubts about the reasons for this bombardment, and why the ship went with such amounts of ammonium nitrate on board, and how it changed its destination to reach the port of Beirut, and how its cargo was unloaded in the halls of the harbor, and how the ship sank around the harbor. Beirut after that. Who was behind the arrival of this dangerous cargo to Lebanon, who is its true owner, and who were the groups that protected the continued existence of these quantities in the port of Beirut through that invisible hand that completely covered these explosives and dangerous materials, and who was behind the removal of quantities of them Especially since a part of the wall of the room, in which these quantities were found, was destroyed, which allowed the entrance to the room and expelled quantities of it.
Siniora added in an interview with Al-Hurra: “All this raises serious questions that must be answered so that all issues and circumstances are clear to all Lebanese. As for the second thing that must be clear and stable, which is a the right of all Lebanese and all Lebanese, wounded or not. ” You have the right to know the whole truth. All Lebanese have the right to know the full truth of what happened, why it happened and who is responsible or responsible for what happened. “
He continued: “The third thing is that it is not allowed at all that there is a tent or protection that covers any human being or any individual or group that participated in what happened, or that is responsible for committing negligence, negligence or complicity, regardless of the matter. of this or those people. And in any place they occupy or occupy. No excuse or reason can be used to make someone immune from liability. Therefore, the whole truth must be revealed, and then those involved and those responsible will be prosecuted.
Siniora added: More than four months have passed since this attack, and the investigations still tilt to the right and left and do not seem to touch anything but the scale, and that they do not get close to the heart of the basic problems of this crime, specifically for discover who brought that shipment to Lebanon, what was its purpose and who is the beneficiary of it. And who used and removed quantities from the hangar and the port, and who was interested in not sending these quantities out of Lebanon again and who was willing not to destroy them.
They said to Siniora: Why Hassan Diab? Why isn’t it Saad Hariri, for example? Why does Hassan Diab say that this is an objective of the prime minister’s office and that it prevails over parliament? He replied: “Before moving on to the constitutional issue of the judicial investigator’s allegations, I would like to refer to two interesting facts, which are related to what was reported by the President of the Republic and about the Prime Minister. Information and that he knew about these amounts of ammonium nitrate that were stored in the port rooms. And he knew about this fifteen days before the incident of the attack. This is His Excellency the President, and he is not an ordinary person, but the former commander of the army, and in this capacity he is the head of the Supreme Defense Council and the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. The port and nearby residential areas are dangerous. Please note that Lebanon is strictly prohibited from importing any kilogram of these explosive materials before obtaining prior approval from the Council of Ministers. Consequently, the President of the Republic, with all his powers, used to say that 15 days ago he knew these amounts and had not taken any action.
He added: “As for the prime minister, it was also reported by him that when he found out, he would have liked to go to the port to inspect it to explore the circumstances of this issue and then change his mind. Therefore, the question arises: Why did you not initiate any position that prevents these quantities from being left behind and the risks that their continued presence in port terminals entails? Now, why this selectivity in the prosecution and in this matter, since both are responsible?
He continued: “We return to the constitution, since the constitution is clear regarding the prosecution of people to whom the provisions of articles 70, 71 and 80 of the Constitution apply, that this matter must be considered by the Supreme Council to the Office of the Prosecutor for Presidents and Ministers, which is made up of seven representatives and eight of the highest judges. This is very clear in those articles. It is true that the judicial investigator had sent a letter to the House of Representatives, regardless of the reporting problems, on 11/24/2020, and as he mentioned in his letter, there are serious suspicions against all the heads of government and ministers who happened the prime minister and ministers who took the money bags. And jobs and justice from 2013 to 2020, and they are all 16, including four prime ministers.
He added: “The judicial investigator violates the constitution, nullifies his powers, violates the content of his book and violates the principle of constitutional separation of powers because the constitution is willing to limit prosecution to the House of Representatives in these cases. What I am saying in this regard is that the Judiciary should not be used as a mask for police operations or to mount accusations to settle political scores or for revenge. And if there is a real impartiality, then it is better to ask to hear His Excellency the President, who said with greatness in his language that he knew about the matter. On July 20, that is, 15 days before the bombing, or 15 days, a sufficient period and capable of dismantling an atomic bomb.
Siniora added: “I think we should re-focus fully on revealing the whole truth. Because this bombing is so big and important, and with what it hides in terms of circumstances, it is not enough to be content with the request to seek the help of the French satellite until the French provide information to the Lebanese judiciary. The matter is much more dangerous and this matter should have been handled in a completely different way. I believe that investigations cannot be carried out impartially and correctly if it is not through a return to the investigation demand by an international investigation committee. Since it is the real, correct and reliable way for the Lebanese to rest and ensure that the investigations are carried out impartially, without malice and without covering up anyone, and to ensure that the matter does not involve corruption or corruption operations. exploitation of the judiciary to harm certain people.
