Nasrallah criticized Syrian Intelligence: WikiLeaks

BEIRUT: A WikiLeaks document published Friday quoted Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah as lashing out at Syrian Intelligence services during a meeting with former President Amine Gemayel years ago.

According to the cable, Gemayel briefed then U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Jeffrey Feltman on his meeting with Nasrallah a day after it happened on Dec. 3, 2006.

Searching for a word and sounding several out, Gemayel eventually settled on unenthusiastic to describe Nasrallahs attitude about the Syrians. The Syrian secret police only want women and money; they are without morals, the document said.

Gemayel also told Feltman that he was surprised by Nasrallahs hatred of then Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, Future Movement leader Saad Hariri and Feltman.

The cable was translated to Arabic and published on the Lebanese Forces website Friday. Many view the move as an attempt to deal a blow to Gemayels bid for presidency.

Gemayel told Lebanons MTV television that he does not remember he had the conversation with Nasrallah. Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea is also a presidential hopeful.
