Interpol forwards warrants for Hariri murder suspects

(AFP) – 3 hours ago

BEIRUT — The Special Tribunal for Lebanon, which is investigating the 2005
murder of ex-premier Rafiq Hariri, said on Sunday that Interpol had
circulated arrest warrants for the four suspects in the bombing.

"I can confirm that the tribunal has requested Interpol to notify all
states of the arrest warrants against the accused in the 15th February 2005
attack," the court's Beirut spokesman, Martin Youssef, told AFP.

He said that the international police organisation had issued a so-called
"red notice" to member states late on Friday but gave no information on the
presumed whereabouts or the identity of the four suspects.

"The international arrest warrants will not be published and will not be
available to the public because they are still confidential," he added.

A senior officer in Lebanon's security services told AFP that Lebanon and
the other 187 Interpol member states had received the "red notice" on
Saturday asking them to arrest the suspects and hand them over to the
UN-backed court for trial.

The official said the warrants were for four senior Hezbollah officers who
are accused of carrying out a "terrorist act" and of "killing Rafiq Hariri
and 21 others using explosives."

The Special Tribunal submitted a confidential indictment and arrest
warrants for the four accused on June 30. The names of the four were not
released but were leaked to the Beirut media and later confirmed by the
Lebanese government.

Mustafa Badreddin, Salim Ayyash, Assad Sabra and Hussein Anaissi are all
members of Shiite militant group Hezbollah, which fought a devastating 2006
war with Israel and now leads the majority bloc in the Lebanese parliament.

In a July 2 speech, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah ruled out the arrest
of four.

"No Lebanese government will be able to carry out any arrests whether in 30
days... 30 years or even 300 years," he said.

For me, it is enough that Hezbollah threatened
people who wanted to protest against what the occupied Syrian
government is doing in Syria. That government is massacring people.
For me, that's enough to say Hezbollah has lost it. I would not be
shocked if they had something to do with the murder of Hariri. We
can't have a trial, I know, but the fact that there are indictments
harms their image.

they lost their legitimacy from the moment when they turned their
weapons on their country men, they could have used the tribunal to their
advantage to clear their image *if they are innocents*, but i guess when
you have a religious sectarian bigot In control who claim to be
descendent of a divine Family!, who has more loyalty to a foreign
country than that of his own, what do you expect?, just like the mouse
of Syria, today they are ruling the country through intimidation, i
blame the Lebanese Army for failing to comply with its duties to protect
and control the Security of the country and its citizens, this is where
the bucket stop.

dark days are yet to come..... god help us all.!
