July 20, 2010 - Now Lebanon - Nasrallah’s speech on STL designed to preempt possible deadlock

As-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper quoted on Tuesday a source close to Hezbollah as saying that Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s Friday speech on the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) was only to preempt any position that can put the party in an impasse.

Nasrallah had accused the STL of being an “Israeli project” designed to target Hezbollah by stirring up sectarian strife in Lebanon.

The unnamed source accused Future Movement bloc MPs, who have criticized Nasrallah’s speech, of misinterpreting the party chief’s speech.

Media reports have said that the tribunal’s indictment will be issued before the end of 2010, and there are also reports that some Hezbollah members could be named in the indictment.
