Now Lebanon - Habib: Najjar responsible for dealing with false witnesses issue - September 21, 2010

Lebanese Force bloc MP Farid Habib told Ad-Diyar newspaper in an interview published on Tuesday that Justice Minister Ibrahim Najjar is the person responsible for dealing with the issue of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon’s (STL) false witnesses.

The cabinet delegated Najjar on August 18 to follow up on the issue of the false witnesses who gave fake testimonies in the investigation of the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

“Do they want to teach Najjar [how to do] his job?” said Habib, in reference to the March 8 parties who have called on the Lebanese judiciary to investigate the issue.

In July, Hezbollah called the STL an Israeli project, saying the tribunal will indict some of his party’s members for Rafik Hariri’s murder.
