New STL Arrest Warrants to Include MPs, Ministers
The Special Tribunal for Lebanon probing into the assassination of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri will issue 14 arrest warrants that will include Lebanese officials, the Kuwaiti newspaper al-Anbaa reported on Saturday.
Diplomatic sources told the daily that the warrants are expected to include Lebanese officials and military personnel and other people from different nationalities.
“The new circulated names include a current MP (in the parliament) and former Ministers and MPs,” they said.
Sources involved in the Lebanese situation stressed that “the satisfaction that followed the appointments and the release of the seven Estonians might not last long with the near release of the new arrest warrants.”
The diplomatic circles said that the arrest warrants are expected to be issued before the end of July.
The STL submitted a confidential indictment and arrest warrants for four suspects in June. The names were not released but were leaked to the media and later confirmed by the Lebanese government.
Mustafa Badreddin, Salim Ayyash, Assad Sabra and Hussein Anaissi are all members of Hizbullah.
However, their whereabouts are unknown.
Lebanon now has 30 business days to find and arrest the four named in the warrants.
If no arrests are made, the court can publicize their names and call on the accused to surrender within a month, after which the defense chief can himself appoint lawyers from his office's list to represent defendants in absentia.

Only an imbecile wouldn't predict that the criminals who killed Rafiq Hariri were in fact "against" him.

Only an imbecile will not understand what bigdig meant. He meant politically against Hariri, and that doesn't imply that they all killed him.

the most obvious ones who realy are behind the assasination of Harriri are who have already criminal acts which identified them; such as phalange party members and Geagea this last one was convicted to death as civil war criminal.

2) The it uses their new power to tear down the democratic chosen government.
3) The it force part of the former bloc to change sides with threats and intimidation so it can set up their own government.
And then the terrorist organization think they can get away with it! :)

The names od these MPs and ministers shall be announced in an open 7aflet zajal Lebanese style. The famous dance troupe Hezzeh 7alima shall perform during the ceremony. Tickets are free for all imbeciles, aka March 14 and Lebanon Never First. After all, they are the proud sponsors and co-producers with Israel of the ongoing farce known as the STL.

I swear that some that post on here do it out of spite. I thought at first it was ignorance but now figure it's out of spite. They like to yank the chain of common sense posters. If I'm wrong, it means that they are actually implants from Hizthrowup or other idiotic groups. One more thing...it's ok to read international news that gives other opinions. That's all I got to say about that...

Lahoud has to be implicated in Hariri's murder.

This will not bring down the mafia that rules Lebanon (and I don't mean one single party but all of them together), but it's a step, and might be the first step to be followed by others. Godspeed.

When Harriri was murdered, a lebanese citizen could not fart without Jamil Sayyed and the syrian intelligence knowing about it. It is inconceivable that high ranking lebanese officials were not involved, facilitated, or covered up for the operation. Hizbullah executed the assassination under direct orders from Syria and was helped by military and intelligence personnel. The STL will provide the evidence of their involvement. One of the "Ashraf Al Nass" who carried out the assassination was talking to his morocan whore and got caught. The same person was talking to high ranking hizbullah officials in Dahiye....etc. I hope they will face justice soon. Criminals and murderers driven by prejudice, jealousy, and hatred.... and they operate under the disguise of resistance.....

i_ataoui you moron the only CIVIL WAR CRIMINALS are your filthy dirty Palestinians , Syrians ,Druze and all those Sunni grubs who tired to rape and murder the Christians out of Lebanon.

Dear i_ataoui,
yes... that's right, geagea plotted the murder from his prison cell.
That makes perfect sense, how didnt we see that coming !
Seriously ataoui, dont swallow every little piece of unsubstantiated gossip your media feeds you.
Oh! and does this mean every person who got convicted to death as civil war criminal was involved in the murder (based on your conspiracy theory)
What about the warlords of our civil war that actually got away with their crimes. You love them so much, (and swallow their bullshit so easily) that no matter how much EVIDENCE will be sent your way, you wont believe it if it does not fit your mind...
anyway, goodnight

obviously it is hisballah and his turban head hassan are the criminals, who else was on the ground druing hariri killing. buttom line is the whole world knows hisbebola is a terrorist group carrying illegal activities like alqaida and yet they think they are angels doing the will of GOD. MOre likely the doing the will of the devil himself because clearly stated ' you shall not kill", but islamic sheilkhs approves of killin humans then tell us that islam is a loving peaceful religion more likely a political movement trying to control the world by killing people who don't believe in their ways or beliefs.
and that makes the future very dangers but bottom of the is the abyss of the ocean for shiekhs who preach crimes and their souls will Go to hell noway around that because they are tuned on killing innocent people.

@bigdig, Whoever is indicted, is certainly, implicated in the murder and it is obvious that these alledged criminals are against Hariri, otherwise why would they murder him. Time for these gangsters to wrap up and hide.
Can't wait to see how many MP is implicated. The joke is that Aoun might end up being alone in the cabinet.
