Now Lebanon - Hamadeh calls on Nasrallah, Mikati to cooperate with STL - June 30, 2011

In an interview with LBC television, MP Marwan Hamadeh called on Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah to cooperate with the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
In an another interview with Al-Arabiya television earlier, the MP also commented on the possibility that the STL indicts Hezbollah members, on the grounds of involvement in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
“If such accusations are true, I do not think people whose ranks are [as being said] are able to commit a huge crime or series of crimes without a clear decision from local supreme references or regional Arab and Islamic references.”
The STL said in a statement published on its website that the indictment and accompanying arrest warrants were transmitted to the Lebanese authorities on Thursday.
A judicial official told AFP that four Lebanese suspects are named in the indictment.
Local media said at least two of them were members of the Iranian and Syrian-backed Hezbollah, which has warned it would defend itself if accused.
