As-Safir newspaper reported on Tuesday that several US think tanks looked into the possible repercussions on Lebanon should the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL)’s indictment name Hezbollah as being involved in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
The daily quoted an unnamed US source as saying that the court’s indictment will be issued in two rounds between September and the end of the year. The indictments will name high-ranking Hezbollah officials in the ex-premier’s murder, added As-Safir.
However, no indictment would be issued against the party’s leadership, referring to Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, said the daily.
The source also said that “it has been clear for some time now that the Syrians were not behind the assassination. But they probably knew about it.”
