Lebanon's President Emile Lahoud spoke up about a threat he received from a ‘major' country that the presidential palace would be bombed in the aftermath of Lahoud's visit to Dahiyeh prior to the July-August 2006 ‘Israeli' aggression against Lebanon.
In an interview with Al-Manar TV, president Lahoud stressed that Americans begged the opposition to sign the Doha agreement after the quick takeover of Beirut and Mount Lebanon by the opposition.
President Lahoud added, "When I went down to Dahiyeh after the July-August aggression and met some of those who were in the Dahiyeh, I told them literally ‘We will be victorious. Do not fear. The day will come. We are with Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah because he stuck to what is right, and for that we will be victorious.'"
Lahoud added, "A few days later, over my visit to Dahiyeh, I receive a threat from a major embassy of a country whose president was close to some politicians in Lebanon, that the presidential palace in Baabda would be bombed, and that I would not know when it would be bombed. They wanted me to leave the palace.
President Lahoud saluted the chief of Arab hostages Samir Kintar, stressing that if it weren't for what Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah had done, we wouldn't have reached what we are at today."
