Justice Minister Ibrahim Najjar told the Voice of Lebanon (VOL) radio station on Tuesday that “no one can affect the work of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL).”
“The party that does not want the STL must be reassured that [the court’s] indictment will not come to [overthrow it],” Najjar said, in a possible reference to Hezbollah.
Tension is high in Lebanon after reports said that the STL will soon issue its indictment for the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said in July that the tribunal is an “Israeli project” that will indict Hezbollah members.
