iloubnan - Lebanon's Hariri hails UN indictment as 'historic' - June 30, 2011

Lebanese opposition leader Saad Hariri, son of assassinated ex-premier Rafiq Hariri, on Thursday hailed the release of a UN indictment in his father's 2005 murder as a hard-won "historic moment". 

"After many years of patience, of struggle ... today, we witness a historic moment in Lebanese politics, justice and security," Hariri said in a statement. 

He also urged Lebanon's new Hezbollah-dominated government to uphold its commitment to international resolutions. 

Hariri's comments after Lebanese officials said the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, based near The Hague, submitted an indictment and arrest warrants to the country's prosecutor general in his father's case. 

Members of the powerful Hezbollah are expected to be implicated in the killing.
