A U.N. investigation team has lately met with head of Hizbullah's Coordination and Liaison Committee Wafiq Safa, pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat said Friday.
It said the meeting took place on Tuesday where an agreement was reached on a mechanism that allows investigators to hear witnesses, some of whom belong to Hizbullah or have close ties with the group.
Al-Hayat quoted sources as saying that the hearings will take place soon, not at the Office of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon in Monteverde, but in another location.
The sources pointed out that international investigators did not mind listening to a witness at any place to be determined by Hizbullah.
Meanwhile, Radhia Achouri, spokesperson for Special Tribunal for Lebanon Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare, responded to remarks made by Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah who said media leaks originated from the U.N. investigation committee.
"The Court is handling (the case) with utmost professionalism," Achouri told Al-Arabiya satellite television.
"Secrecy of the investigation is a main priority," she added.
