Now Lebanon - Justice minister: Government following up on implementation of STL warrants - July 21, 2011

Justice Minister Shakib Qortbawi said on Thursday that relevant government bodies are following up on the implementation of the arrest warrants issued by the UN-backed Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) earlier this month.
“The cabinet is the authority that takes decisions regarding the arrest warrants,” Qortbawi told Sawt al-Mada radio station.
The minister also declined to make a statement regarding the issue of witnesses who gave unreliable testimonies to the international commission probing former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s 2005 assassination.
The UN-backed STL indicted four members of Hezbollah in connection to Rafik Hariri’s murder, but the Shia group ruled out their arrest.
