Jumblat Supports
Geagea's Release
April 1, 2004
Walid Jumblat says he
does not oppose the release
of Lebanese Forces leader
Samir Geagea from jail
to join in consolidating
Lebanon's post-war national
reconciliation, but the
Karami and Chamoun families
have first to forgive
him. "I have no problem
against Samir Geagea's
freedom," Jumblat
said in a question-and-answer
session with the students
of Notre Dame University
Wednesday evening. His
remarks were splashed
across the front pages
of several Beirut dailies
that hit the newsstands
Thursday morning.
"But the Karami
and Chamoun families have
first to declare whether
they are willing to forgive,"
Jumblat said in an obvious
reference to Geagea's
alleged involvement in
the separate assassinations
of ex-Premier Rashid Karami
and National Liberal Party
leader Danny Chamoun.
