Hajjar: Government responsible for Arsal incident

Future Bloc MP Mohammad Hajjar said on Sunday that his bloc opposes any attack against security apparatuses, calling on them to strike with an iron fist against those who violate the country's security, he added that the Arsal attack is unacceptable and held the government's policy towards spread of illegal arms directly responsible for what happened. "Only the state should be responsible for the security and stability of the homeland," he said at a conference in Ketermaya in Iklim el-Kharoub. "The Lebanese government is responsible for this incident, due to its policy of distancing itself from the proliferation of weapons in all Lebanese territories, whose spread is encouraged by Hezbollah."
