False witness in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri's assassination case, Hussam Hussam, has confirmed Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's allegations that an Israeli agent identified as Ghassan al-Jed was present at the bombing scene on the Beirut seafront in February 2005.
Hussam, who is Syrian and currently resides in his home country, told al-Manar TV station that al-Jed was near HSBC, which is only 400 meters away from the blast scene, when the bombing went off.
Hussam had claimed he had been coerced into fingering Syria in Hariri's murder.
He said he would unveil new information about the Special Tribunal for Lebanon at a press conference in the next few days. However, his attorney Omran al-Zohbi told pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat daily that there was no decision yet to hold the conference.
