Aoun's Bloc Against Foreign Interference, Criticizes Khaddam

General Michel Aoun's parliamentary bloc has said it would not allow any foreign entity to exercise influence over Lebanon, An Nahar reported on Tuesday. "The bloc affirms again for the Lebanese that the era of (foreign) guardianship over Lebanon is gone for good," Legislator Ibrahim Kanaan of Aoun's bloc said. "We will not let any foreign guardianship on Lebanese domestic decisions to happen," he added reading from a statement issued after his parliamentary bloc held its weekly meeting in Rabieh Monday. Kanaan also said the bloc "closely followed" Syria's former Vice-President Abdel-Halim Khaddam's comments implicating Syrian President Bashar Assad in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri's assassination. "We leave it up to the Lebanese and to history to judge Khaddam's actions when he was in charge of the Lebanese file," said Kanaan.
