At the end of a marathon 11 hour cabinet session, Lebanese Information Minister Ghazi Aridi also announced on Tuesday that Brig Gen Wafiq Shuqeir, who was removed earlier for sympathizing with Hezbollah, would rejoin the army. Brig Gen Wafiq Shuqeir was earlier removed from the post of the commander of security at Beirut international airport for failing to detect spy cameras set up at the airport, allegedly by the Hezbollah, to monitor the movement of anti-Syrian Lebanese politicians and foreign dignitaries. Top Shiite cleric, Sheik Abdul-Amir Kabalan, had dismissed allegations of Shoukair The allegations were first levied by anti-Syrian leader Walid Jumblatt, who on Saturday accused Hezbollah of placing the cameras and suggested Hezbollah was planning to assassinate senior leaders by bombing aircraft. Jumblatt also said Saturday that Shoukair, whom he described as a Hezbollah loyalist, should be fired and called for the expulsion of the Iranian ambassador in Lebanon. Hezbollah dismissed the allegations concerning airport surveillance and fired back with its own accusations against Jumblatt. Kassem, the Hezbollah deputy leader, said the group's telecommunications network was a necessity for the group's deterrence capabilities in the fight against Israel and "complemented" Hezbollah's arsenal of weapons.
