Interior Minister Marwan Charbel told Future News television on Thursday that security forces implement arrest warrants whether issued within Lebanese courts or within the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
“We [will] search for the people wanted, and hand them to the tribunal if we find them,” Charbel also said, adding, however, that he has not been informed about the arrest warrants submitted by the STL yet.
He also said that the cabinet will commit to all that is requested from it.
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.
