Lebanese Forces deputy leader George Adwan said the Opposition is linking the issue of false witnesses to the Justice Council to get rid of Military Prosecutor Saqr Saqr, State Prosecutor Saeed Mirza, Police chief Maj. Gen. Ashraf Rifi and head of the police intelligence bureau Col. Wissam Hasan.
"We can only talk about false statements in the course of a criminal investigation," Adwan told MTV.
"Details of the criminal investigation into the assassination of late Prime Minister Rafik Hariri is only in the hands of the International Tribunal and we cannot do anything before issuance of the charge sheet because the probe is secret," he explained.
This indicates that Lebanon cannot act on the false witnesses' issue before an indictment has been issued by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
