July 25, 2010 - Now Lebanon - Khoury calls Hariri’s Saturday speech “poised and acceptable”

Change and Reform bloc MP Walid Khoury told the Free Lebanon radio station on Sunday that Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s latest speech during a Future Movement conference was “poised and acceptable.”

Hariri on Saturday tried to dispel fears of sectarian strife in Lebanon over the pending indictment from the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL).

Khoury also said that his bloc did not question the credibility of the STL, but that it had “questions [on STL’s work] after it [was functioning] on an international level, [involving] Israel.”

The STL is probing the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. There are reports that some Hezbollah members could be named in the indictment.

Change and Reform bloc leader MP Michel Aoun accused the STL on Saturday of not searching for the real culprits behind the killing.
