Lebanon was in a wait-and-see situation on Tuesday after reports that the indictment in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s assassination would be issued by the international tribunal soon.
While some media reports said that the Lebanese authorities have already received a copy of the indictment, most officials, including Prosecutor Saeed Mirza denied.
“There is no decisive information on the release date of the indictment,” Mirza said Monday.
Special Tribunal for Lebanon spokesman Marten Youssef also declined to comment on newspaper reports that the indictment would name five Hizbullah members.
"The STL has no comment to make about the content of the indictment,” he said in remarks published Tuesday.
"The integrity of the STL proceedings requires that legal considerations alone determine if and when the tribunal will make any announcement about the completion of the review process," Youssef added.
