Big Heads Will Roll
January 26, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui
The long march of Hezbollah towards the control of Lebanon will not stop here. Soon the post-Hariri cleansing will begin. “The party [Hezbollah] will axe three high-ranking sunni officials” a Beirut diplomat told us. The first is Ashraf Rifi, the head of the ISF, close to Hariri. The second is Wissam al-Hassan, head of intelligence services loyal to Saad Hariri. […] , and finally, the last head that will be rolled by Hezbollah will be that of Judge Saïd Mirza -the prosecutor general- to better burry the Hariri investigation
Make no mistake about it. This is no peaceful, agreeable transfer of power. This is a turf war and a purge of the highest order.
