Syrian President Bachar Assad stressed Hizbullah "has no intention" in launching attacks in Egypt. Speaking to the Asharq al-Awsat daily, Assad reminded that Hizbullah had denied alleged reports that it was planning attacks and said they do not have anything against Egypt or the Egyptians.

Assad was on an official trip to Austria.

On the Special Court for Lebanon to try suspects in the Rafik Hariri assassination case, the Syrian President said: "we have no expectations, however, it seems that things as not going in a professional manner. If the case were tackled professionally, then it would end in a good way, and this is what we expect. You have to be professional to know who killed Hariri."

"Lebanon and the Court have an agreement. Syria does not. We have our own law and anything that has to do with any Syrian, whether innocent or guilty, must be dealt with through an agreement between the Syrian judiciary and the concerned court."

President Assad said that Syria and Lebanon will exchange Ambassadors soon. "We have already announced their names and regarding our Ambassador, we have given him a two-month period to prepare himself to return from Kuwait and then head to Lebanon, it's only a matter of time."

The Syrian President also called on the ‘Israeli' government to accept the two-state solution in occupied Palestine and withdraw from the occupied Golan Heights before speaking about ‘peace.'
