Nahhas Says State Emerged Victorious as he Reportedly Hands over Telecom Data to ISF
Caretaker Telecommunications Minister Charbel Nahhas refused to describe a decision for the Lebanese army to take control of a telecom building in Beirut’s Adliyeh area as a settlement.
“What happened is a victory of the logic of the state and the law and not (a victory) of a person or a party,” Nahhas told As Safir daily in remarks published Saturday.
The army took control of the second floor of the facility on Friday a day after the Internal Security Forces stopped Nahhas from dismantling a GSM network on that floor.
“Claims by some (people) that a settlement was reached or conditions were imposed are not true,” the minister said. “Things have returned back to normal.”
Meanwhile, An Nahar daily said Saturday that Nahhas has handed over telecom data to ISF’s Information Branch which had made the request since April 25.
According to ISF chief Maj. Gen. Ashraf Rifi, Nahhas was withholding the data needed for the investigation into the kidnapping of seven Estonian tourists in the Bekaa valley in March.
Rifi told An Nahar that after the bombing that targeted a UNIFIL patrol in the south on Friday, the data issue has become more pressing.

Do you really believe that the government has no right to run a communication system but Hizb alla gang can run a communication system of its own? What logic is this?
This minister Nahas is a real arrogant puppet of hizb alla, Syria & Iran. Who is he trying to fool?
People, can't you see clear? Can't you see that the daoulet Hizb alla is gaining ground and the government of Lebanon is being paralyzed by these thugs?

Ya mohamad why are you bothering? with people like Issan and the aounies, you cannot talk with them, they are delusionnal and stubborn, completely rejecting everything else, only taking points of vues that their leader takes, which makes us think again since we all know how much GMA is a sane person. Issan is funny he doesnt know Nahhas is a big thief, he wants to dismantle the 3rd network because it is suppposedly illlegal, what about the money the governement asked him to give to them ? the benefits of both alpha and mtc which are public institutions? and that he didnt give? what about the data he was asked from the ISF and they never received it?they forget that Hezboollah has installed lots of illegal communication networks from south to th north, that hezb toppled airport security to welcome Jamil el sayyed, and recently the governement, who are they kidding, ? i finally found a solution to their sttubborness ya mohamad, i hope Hezbollah takes over and ruins their lives

can't he wear a tie like decent ministers, that puppet?

He has to look dirty and messy to match Hizeb alla style.
His wife has to cover up.
It is the fashion in that statelet.
If he looks as he should he will lose his pay check.
"REPORTEDLY" the illegal "fer3 al ma3loumat" withdrew computers or data during their militia-like behavior and before they were kicked out by the Lebanese army. The point remains this: Rifi rebelled on Baroud and his ultimate superior, president Suleiman. PERIOD. Rifi must be punished. All else is political and should be resolved by politicians. LAWS ARE LAWS. Those who "ze7o sama rabna" with their void calls for state institutions are obviously the ones who trample on all the laws and are destroying the state institutions. They must shut up once and for all.
