Interior Minister Marwan Charbel said on Thursday that the “status of Lebanon’s security is good” amid fears of instability over the indictment of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), which will reportedly soon be issued.
“Nothing will happen [after] the indictment is issued,” Charbel told the Voice of Lebanon (100.5) radio station.
“The indictment is just an indictment and not a final verdict,” the minister added in a reference to reports that the STL will indict Hezbollah members for the 2005 murder of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
Hezbollah has repeatedly said that the STL is a “US-Zionist plan” with the aim of implicating the party in Rafik Hariri’s murder, a move the Shia group has warned against.
