Lebanese website blames Hizbullah for Qana deaths*
Anti-Syrian elements in Lebanon openly point finger at Hizbullah as
guilty of killing of dozens of civilians in order to curtail plans for
disarming group. 'Hizbullah has placed rocket launcher on building's
roof and brought invalid children inside in bid to provoke Israeli
response,'
Is Hizbullah behind the tragic incident in the village of Qana that
claimed the lives of some 60 people? While the Israeli army continues to
investigate the circumstances leading to the building's collapse, some
in Lebanon do not hesitate to point the finger at the Shiite
organization and claim it is to blame for the death of dozens.
The Lebanese website LIBANOSCOPIE , associated with Christian elements
in the country and which openly supports the anti-Syrian movement called
the "March 14 Forces," reported that Hizbullah has masterminded a plan
that would result in the killing of innocents in the Qana village, in a
bid to foil Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora's "Seven Points Plan",
which calls for deployment of the Lebanese army in southern Lebanon and
the disarming of Hizbullah.
'Disabled children placed inside building'
"We have it from a credible source that Hizbullah, alarmed by Siniora's
plan, has concocted an incident that would help thwart the negotiations.
Knowing full well that Israel will not hesitate to bombard civilian
targets, Hizbullah gunmen placed a rocket launcher on the roof in Qana
and brought disabled children inside, in a bid to provoke a response by
the Israeli Air Force. In this way, they were planning to take advantage
of the death of innocents and curtail the negotiation initiative," the
site stated.
The site's editors also claimed that not only did Hizbullah stage the
event, but that it also chose Qana for a specific reason: "They used
Qana because the village had already turned into a symbol for massacring
innocent civilians, and so they set up 'Qana 2'." Notably, the incident
has indeed been dubbed "The second Qana massacre" by the Arab media.
