Now Lebanon - Harb says STL not linked to Lebanese government - October 19, 2010









Labor Minister Boutros Harb, a member of the March 14 alliance, told Future News on Tuesday that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) – probing the 2005 murder of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri – has nothing to do with the Lebanese government and the decisions it makes.“The political struggle in Lebanon does not affect the STL,” Harb said, adding, “It would affect the relations between Lebanon and the UN.”He stated that March 14 will reject the STL indictment if it is not based on hard evidence.Tensions are high in Lebanon after reports said that the STL will soon issue its indictment in the killing of Rafik Hariri. March 8 figures are calling for the abolition of the tribunal, and there are fears that should the court indict Hezbollah members, it could lead to clashes similar to those of the 2008 May Events
