Al-Manar television quoted on Tuesday an unnamed source close to President Michel Sleiman as saying that the latter has not made up his mind regarding the false witnesses issue yet.
March 8 politicians have called for the cabinet to task the Justice Council with investigating the issue of witnesses who gave false testimonies in the international investigation into former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s 2005 assassination. Some March 14 figures have said that the issue does not fall within the council’s jurisdiction and that false testimonies cannot be investigated until the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) issues its indictment.
The source also said that postponing Wednesday’s cabinet session aims to find a solution that satisfies all parties, adding that Sleiman’s efforts regarding the matter have not been fruitful so far.
