BEIRUT - Lebanon's prime minister has informed Hezbollah that a UN tribunal probing the 2005 murder of ex-premier Rafiq Hariri will accuse members of the militant party, Hezbollah's chief said on Thursday.
"I was personally informed by Prime Minister (Saad) Hariri that the tribunal will accuse some undisciplined members" of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah said in a press conference via video link.
In a speech earlier this month, Nasrallah accused Israel of interfering in the probe and slammed the tribunal's impending indictment as "fabricated."
Media reports last year said that evidence implicated Hezbollah in the assassination of former premier Hariri in a massive seaside bombing on February 14, 2005.
Nasrallah in March confirmed UN investigators had interrogated members of his Syrian- and Iranian-backed party but said at the time that Hezbollah was not in the tribunal's line of fire.
