Jamil Sayyed, the former head of the Surete Generale currently detained on suspicion of involvement in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, lashed out at Future Movement MP Walid Eido and Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea on Wednesday. In a statement, Sayyed said that "if I wanted to enjoy parliamentary immunity as he [Eido] did I could have done that ... I have chosen to confront international investigations and the UN probe has declared me innocent ... but I am still detained for political reasons." Sayyed also urged Geagea to stop "using Hariri`s blood to seek revenge from those who uncovered his involvement in the assassination of former Premier Rashid Karami" in 1987.
