NNA - Deputy Walid Khoury said that the attempt to assassinate Sheikh Maher Hammoud on Monday morning in Sidon is very critical, pointing out to the presence of an international ability to keep Lebanon away from the regional situation.



"The security issue that dominates the country is due to a certain political situation to draw attention away from what happened at the Parliament and exert pressure on the Constitutional Council," he told "Voice of Lebanon" radio on Monday.



Responding to a question regarding the freedom of the Constitutional Council and not being subject to any pressures in its decision, he said, "that the Council is undergoing a big test," expressing full confidence in judges to access to the required end.
