Kuwaiti newspaper As-Seyassah quoted an unnamed source on Thursday as saying that Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah recently stated that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) will be terminated within three months.
“The STL will not last for more than three months… Hezbollah is in a battle of self defense against attempts to implicate the party [in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri],” the source quoted Nasrallah as saying.
“The battle will end by abolishing the tribunal and [making it seem] like it never existed,” the Hezbollah chief also said, according to the source.
Nasrallah said in July that the STL is an “Israeli project” that will indict Hezbollah members.
On August 9, the Hezbollah chief presented alleged evidence of Israeli involvement in the Rafik Hariri murder, including footage he said came from Israeli Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) monitoring Rafik Hariri and a confession from a suspected Israeli spy.
