BEIRUT- In an interview with Kuwaiti television Al-Rai on Thursday night, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said his party is inclined to request that the Lebanese cabinet and judiciary arrest Mohammad Zouheir al-Siddiq for acting as a false witness in the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese Premier Rafik Hariri.
Siddiq blamed Syrian and Lebanese leaders for Hariri’s assassination, but added that Hezbollah was also involved. He has been accused of misleading a UN probe into the crime.
Nasrallah said the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) had begun preparations to hear some Hezbollah members' testimonies on the assassination.
