Jumblatt Speaks Out Against Lahoud, Assad, And Hizbullah's Weapons

Lebanese Druze leader Walid Jumblatt attacked Hizbullah, saying that "the weapons protecting the regimes of hatred and tyranny... are not sacred, and will not be, without connection to acts against the Israeli aggression."

Jumblatt also spoke out against Lebanese President Emile Lahoud, calling him "an idiot and a petty criminal" and against Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, calling him "a criminal and a big idiot."

Referring to Syria's actions in Lebanon and to the harm to members of the March 14 Forces, Jumblatt said that more assassinations and bombs could be expected in the country.
