Attorney General Judge Said Mirza received a formal request on Thursday from Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) Prosecutor General Daniel Bellemare for any information held by Hezbollah regarding former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s 2005 assassination, An-Nahar newspaper reported on Friday.
The STL on Wednesday called for the submission of all material held by Hezbollah relating to the case after a Monday press conference in which Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah showed video footage and the confession of an alleged spy which he said implicated Israel in Hariri’s murder.
An-Nahar quoted an anonymous judicial source as saying that the request shows Bellemare thinks Hezbollah’s information could be beneficial and demonstrates that the STL is credible and not politicized.
Hezbollah is not legally bound to respond to Bellemare’s request, the source added.
An-Nahar also quoted an anonymous Hezbollah source as saying that Bellemare’s request is “under consideration.”
