NBN-TV: heard on live TV. NBN-TV (owned by Nabih Birri, speaker of the Lebanese parliament) is now embarrassed. It was revealed in An-Nahar, and today was aired on Al-Arabiya TV. Apparently, yesterday, while airing footage of the reactions to Walid `Idu's assassination, the anchorwoman of NBN-TV, Sawsan Safa Darwish, was heard on the air saying "it is high time" in reference to the murder of `Idu. Another voice could be heard saying: "We should not gloat." She then said: "But they have driven us to be fed up." She then said: "And now there is still Fatfat." Fatfat is now suing NBN, and he said that he will notify the UN Hariri investigating team. Birri claimed that he took administrative steps against the anchorwoman.
