BEIRUT: The prosecutor of the U.N.-backed
tribunal investigating the killing of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik
Hariri has issued a new indictment adding a fifth name to a list of suspects in
the 2005 attack, a Lebanese security source said Friday.
The source said the fifth person was a
military member of the militant group Hezbollah and that it is possible that a
sixth person, also from Hezbollah, could be added to the list.
Lebanon's State Prosecutor Saeed Mirza said
Friday that he did not receive a new indictment.
"I did not receive an indictment,"
Mirza told The Daily Star.
In June 2011, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon
indicted four Hezbollah members in the 2005 assassination of Hariri. The
resistance group denies involvement in the assassination.
Hezbollah chief Sayyed
Hasan Nasrallah has described the men – Mustafa Badreddine, Salim al-Ayyash,
Hasan Aineysseh and Asad Sabra – as honorable men of the resistance who will
never be apprehended but tried in absentia instead. – With The Daily Starhttp://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Middle-East/2012/Mar-02/165286-stl-prosecutor-issues-new-indictment-report.ashx#axzz1nr6lJzTR
