French Sources: Indictment in 10 Days

Pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat on Thursday quoted high-ranking French sources as saying that the indictment in the 2005 assassination of former PM Rrafik Hariri is likely to be issued “within the coming 10 days.”

The Special Tribunal for Lebanon is reportedly poised to indict Hizbullah members in the Hariri murder.

Hizbullah had warned against such a move. The Shiite group has been pressuring outgoing PM Saad Hariri for months to stop the tribunal before it forced the collapse of his government on January 12.
