Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.

French police have arrested a man over the unresolved case, and a source revealed that the arrested is a "friend" of PSG player Aminata Diallo.

French police arrested a suspect Wednesday over the unresolved street attack against Paris Saint-German women's footballer Kheira Hamraoui last year, which shook the Qatar-owned club.

The prosecutor’s office in Versailles, southwest of Paris, said that a suspect had been taken into custody five months since Hamraoui was dragged from a car and beaten on the legs with an iron bar near the French capital.

Diallo's friend

A source close to the case revealed that the arrested man was a "friend" of Aminata Diallo, Hamraoui's team-mate and midfield rival who was detained by police immediately after the incident last November but has always denied involvement.

Police believe that the arrested suspect, who was described as "known to police," might have played a role in the assault, said the source, asking not to be named because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the case.

Hamraoui was assaulted on November 4 as she returned home from a club dinner in a car being driven by Diallo. 

The two players were competing for the same spot in the PSG team, and police appeared to initially focus on a theory that sporting rivalry might explain the attack.

"We are not aware of any friend of Aminata Diallo having been placed in custody," Diallo's lawyer, Mourad Battikh, told AFP. 

"Aminata Diallo, more than anyone else, wants the light and the truth to be found in this case," he stressed. 

Diallo and one of her friends, who was in jail at the time, were detained but released without charge in early November last year.

Hamraoui's relationship with teammates reportedly deteriorated

In a statement released after her two days of questioning, Diallo denounced a "totally artificial suggestion of a rivalry" between her and Hamraoui, and she blasted "media speculation which has already condemned her, without justification." 

Hamraoui's relationship with several of her teammates has reportedly deteriorated because they blame her for Diallo's arrest. 

Hamraoui reportedly told police after the assault that she suspected Diallo might be involved because of the unusual route she took home and the slow speed of their vehicle when the two attackers intercepted the car. 

Quarrel during PSG training

Last Saturday, a new quarrel occurred during PSG training between several players and Hamraoui, according to a source close to the club.  

Hamraoui was not in the PSG squad for the Champions League semi-final first leg against Lyon on Sunday and will not join club training this week or play in the second leg on Saturday.

Last month, Hamraoui's lawyer, Said Harir, wrote to PSG to denounce "a campaign of harassment and denigration."
