Geagea Doubts Iran and Hizbullah Want Aoun as President
Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea said that Iran and Hizbullah might not want MP Michel Aoun to be elected as a head of state, An Nahar daily reported on Wednesday.
“Aoun might be the last person that Iran and Hizbullah want as a president,” Geagea told the daily.
His comments came in light of the obstructions hampering the election of a president, despite his own withdrawal from the presidential race in favor of Aoun.
In January, Geagea announced his support for his rival Change and Reform bloc chief Aoun as president.
On the al-Qaa bombings, Geagea condemned the attacks that targeted the northeastern town and lauded the efforts of the Lebanese army.
“There is no clear explanation for the assaults against al-Qaa. But the Lebanese army and Army Commander Gen. Jean Qahwaji have proven that they are not afraid to confront the stage that the country is passing through.”
Suicide bombings rocked al-Qaa Monday evening, injuring eight people, only hours after four suicide bombers killed five people and wounded 15 others in the town before dawn.
In the evening violence, three suicide bombers riding motorcycles blew themselves up in the center of the predominantly Christian town, media reports said.
One struck in front of a church and the two others in front of the municipality building.
In the pre-dawn attack, five people were killed and fifteen others were wounded when four suicide bombers targeted the town.
The suicide explosions struck at 10 minute intervals.

Of course Iran and HA don't to elect a president not even Aoun. After all Lebanon without it's Maronite head of state gains a Shiite supreme leader, just like in Iran.
Hakim: you made a Historical mistake by adopting this corrupt liar who has received millions from Iran. They don't want him because they know perfectly well the degree of his mental illness. You should also examine him.
