Report: Indictment Possibly Issued before Policy Statement, Vote of Confidence
The indictment of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon will be issued before the Lebanese cabinet’s policy statement is announced or prior to the parliament’s vote of confidence, sources told al-Liwaa newspaper on Friday.
“The release of the indictment is just a matter of time, and might take the government by surprise,” the sources said.
In May, the prosecutor of the STL, Daniel Bellemare, filed an amended indictment based on further evidence in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s Feb. 2005 assassination.
The new amended indictment "replaces the indictment of 11 March 2011, to include substantive new elements unavailable until recently," the office of the prosecutor said.
The indictment, which is being kept confidential, has to be examined by Belgian judge Daniel Fransen, who has the responsibility of confirming it before arrest warrants or summonses are issued.
The tribunal was set up in The Hague in 2009 by the United Nations after a massive car bomb attack killed Hariri and 22 others in Beirut.

From all the cabaret creatures in Lebanon these in STL are the most hillarious. There was an indictment on 11.3.2011.? Sure, as nasrallah smelled it right where it goes.. But than Assad became bad boy again, let's go to old plan of acusing Syria. together with resistance. Oh let's include Iranians also!!! But why stop there? It's all Putins fault!!! And that Hintao is suspicious!!! Let's not forget Chavez and of course whole assasination is devised by mastermind Fidel Castro. Let's BOMB IT ALL!!! NUKES!!! TERMONUKES!!!!

Adonis, and you claim all of this by knowing the intricacies of the STL?
It's futile to throw a tantrum based on rumors.
This whole article is by definition a rumor, it would be nice to know the source of these "so-called" reports that have been written for years, so that we could finally construct an opinion instead of being led like sheep.

to all the ostritches that are burrying their heads in the ground,it doesnt take Einstein to know who was behind the killings of Harriri and others,just like it doesnt take Einstein to know that Europe does exist on the map.Get your heads out of your $sses and smell the coffee.Days of Assad clan are gone, just like days of a state withinn the lebanese state will soon be gone.Together with the Assad clan,u tried to make Lebanon poor and mostly uneducated to rule us like Syria but couldnt.Remember whe Hrawi told the Lebanese why do you ALL want to become doctors and lawyers when u can learn a maslaha?It worked well with the Shias when they get sallaries just to belong to HA, and thats why a lot of them are selling pencils on the streets.Education is bi%ch, cause all it took was a camera phone and youtube to start these revolutions,no money, no arms, and no foreign interference.To the Arab youth:keep getting educated and sky is the limit. Soon all these ruthless heads of states will roll
To those who give a damn, STL actually stands for Suck This Lollipop
