BEIRUT: The outcome of the arrest warrants issued for the four Hezbollah members over the assassination of former statesman Rafik Hariri will only be announced at the end of the 30-day deadline, a high-ranking judicial source said Tuesday.
“We haven’t received any positive or negative word regarding the arrests,” the source told The Daily Star.
“The final answer will be made when the 30-day deadline is up,” he added.
“Security services, assuming that the suspects are in Lebanon, will pursue their search unless they were given documents that prove they are outside the country,” the source said.
On June 30, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, established to try suspects in the 2005 assassination of Hariri, issued international arrest warrants against four Hezbollah members.
Interpol over the weekend issued an international red notice against the four suspects.
