Former Minister Michel Samaha on Thursday sought to withdraw his testimony to the Internal Security Forces on the terrorist plot that he was convicted for in May.
Samaha told the court during his retrial that he “cannot confirm his testimony to the Intelligence Branch because his mind was not clear when it raided his house” at the time of his arrest in August 2012.
He said the police officers terrorized him and began shouting during his questioning.
In April, Samaha admitted that he had transported explosives from Syria into Lebanon with the aim of targeting Lebanese politicians and religious figures.
