July 20, 2010 - Now Lebanon - Hezbollah to seek Syria’s support after STL indictment

A top Lebanese official who spoke on condition of anonymity told Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Anbaa on Tuesday that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL)’s indictment will include Hezbollah officials, which, he added, would force the party to turn to Syria for damage control.

According to various media reports, the STL – which is probing the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri – is to issue its indictment before the end of the year.

The source also said that if Hezbollah members are to be indicted, “this means that Damascus’ influence on Hezbollah will increase significantly.”
