BEIRUT: A politician will likely be
included in a revised draft indictment by Special Tribunal for Lebanon
Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare, Lebanon's Al-Liwaa newspaper Tuesday quoted
diplomatic sources as saying.
An international judicial source
confirmed to the local daily that Bellemare would issue a revised indictment.
The source added that there would be several others included in the new
indictment.
In June 2011, Bellemare indicted
four member of Hezbollah – Mustafa Amine Badreddine, Salim Jamil Ayyash,
Hussein Hasan Oneissi and Assad Hasan Sabra – in the assassination of former
Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in 2005. The resistance group denies any
involvement in the crime.
The report comes days after
Al-Akhbar reported that Bellemare had submitted a new draft indictment in the
attempted assassinations of former Deputy Prime Minister Elias Murr and MP
Marwan Hamdeh and in the assassination of former Communist Party leader George
Hawi.
It also said Bellemare had submitted
additional documents related to the indictment in the case of Hariri’s
assassination on Feb. 14, 2005.
Last week Prime Minister Najib Mikati said the
STL prosecutor would issue a new indictment in the assassination of Hariri.http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Local-News/2012/Feb-21/164100-politician-fifth-suspect-in-hariri-assassination-report.ashx#axzz1n0z4CCop
