Now Lebanon - Attorney General responsible for implementing STL indictments, Qortbawi says - July 22, 2011

Justice Minister Shakib Qortbawi said on Friday that it is the job of Attorney General Said Mirza, and not the cabinet, to implement the memorandum of understanding between the Lebanese government and the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL).
Qortbawi also told Free Lebanon radio that the investigation into the kidnapping of the seven Estonians is ongoing.
The STL indicted four members of Hezbollah in connection to the 2005 assassination of former PM Rafik Hariri and handed the arrest warrants to Mirza, but the party’s secretary general, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, ruled out their arrest.

Seven kidnapped Estonians were freed in Lebanon Thursday, almost four months after being abducted by armed men as they entered the country on a bicycle tour from neighboring Syria.
