Lebanon: Hariri Investigation Released Full Indictment

The U.N. backed tribunal investigating the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri has released the full indictment. Reactions to the release were predictably divided. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said, “the text in our hands now is based on analysis and not clear evidence…those who were indicted should not be called ‘charged’ but unjustly treated.” Saad Hariri, the son of Rafik Hariri said, “what is required of Hezbollah’s leadership is simply to announce their disengagement with the accused…this stance will go down in history, and all the Lebanese and Arabs will acknowledge it.”
