Lebanon First bloc MP Atef Majdalani told MTV on Thursday that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) is the only body authorized to investigate the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
Anyone who has information regarding Rafik Hariri’s murder should present it to STL Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare, Majdalani said.
He called interesting Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s alleged evidence implicating Israel in the Rafik Hariri assassination, but added that the information was not conclusive.
Nasrallah presented during his Monday press conference footage that he said came from Israeli Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) monitoring Rafik Hariri and a confession from a suspected Israeli spy.
Majdalani also said that no one has information regarding the STL’s pending indictment and its timing.
Media reports that Hezbollah members will be charged are only presumptions, he also said.
The Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) lack military equipment, Majdalani said, adding that it will take time to strengthen the Lebanese army. President Michel Sleiman on Saturday said that Lebanon will work with friendly countries to provide the LAF with more advanced equipment.
August 1, 2010 - Now Lebanon - STL is the only authorized body investigating Hariri’s murder, Majdalani says
