A Lebanese security leader is under the disposal of the army
Lebanon, Politics, 5/19/2005

It was announced in Beirut that one of the Lebanese security department leaders, the Lebanese opposition asked for their resignation, was put under the disposal of the army leadership.

Identical sources said that the chairman of the monitoring unit in the army intelligence Col. Ghassan al-Tufeili was put under the disposal of his leadership in preparation for his resignation, noting the possibility of appointing col. Sasin Mur'b instead of him.

Al-Tufeili is one of 6 Lebanese security departments leaders the Lebanese opposition called on to resign two months ago over the assassination of the former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri on February 14.

Four of the said leaders, in addition to the attorney general Adnan Adoum, gave their resignation by the end of May with the exception of lt. Gen. Mustafa Hamdan, the leader of the republican guard who is close to President Emil Lahoud.

It is expected that removing the leaders of the security forces who were accused of collaborating in the assassination of al-Hariri will facilitate the work of the international investigation committee whose numbers are expected to reach Beirut within days.
