    Lebanon court to try Hezbollah members in absentia

    Associated Press – Wed, Feb 1, 2012

    BEIRUT (AP) — The special court investigating the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri says it will try four Hezbollah members indicted in the case in absentia.

    The Special Tribunal for Lebanon says the Trial Chamber examined documents from the tribunal's prosecutor and the Lebanese Prosecutor-General. They detail the steps taken by the Lebanese authorities to apprehend the accused.

    Hariri was killed in a suicide truck bombing on Feb. 14, 2005.

    Hezbollah has strongly denied it was behind Hariri's killing.

    The STL's statement on Wednesday said the efforts included multiple attempts by the Lebanese authorities to find the accused at their last known residences, places of employment, family homes and other locations.

      Assad and Nasrallah are behind it. Everyone knows that.

      Waste of time... going through the motions to collect a paycheck doesn't mean anything you do has teeth.
      Lebanon has to learn to live with the fact that at one time they were considered the Switzerland or Paris and Riviera of the Middle East, but, now they are just another Arab toilet!

      Corruption of Western expats is more widespread than commonly known. Any penny they can get from this part of the world is Halal to them. Do not take any report from them seriously.

      Lebanon court? Propaganda again? YOu mean the U.S-Israeli court, right? Well, Hezbollah defeated "Israel" in a 33-day-war in 2006, and I highly doubt that it can accomplish what it had failed so to do via its military might, using political means.
      "Israel" and Wall Street behind it are facing their demise, as the world is waking up to their enslavement of mankind. I'm afraid they've exposed themselves way too plainly when:
      A. they are supporting and arming the Bahraini regime against its people;
      B. Arming and supporting Saudi Arabia that is a bunch of Wahabis, who represent Al-Qaeda, in addition to its oppressive regime that does not even allow women to drive;
      Forming an alliance with the monarchs of the world: Morocco, Jordan, UAE, Qatar, and Oman.
      They have exposed their lies when they've been promissing us of the collapse of the Iranian regime ever since its revolution defeated the U.S-backed king;
      They've been promissing the collapse of the Syrian regime since 2005, and their promises have further increase in the last year, each time emphasizing that its regime will fall in 2 3 or 4 weeks.

        And that defeat would be the destruction of Israel, correct? Oh... Israel still is a country with nuclear arms and you don't!
        If you live in Lebanon the next war may not go the way you think it will go! Clearly both sides learned a lesson, but the Israelis are better in school than Hezbollah!

      Almost 50 years later, mighty CIA is still unable to solve the mystery of murder of one of their most beloved presidents. All of sudden, profiteers from Europe and Canada who especially enjoy caviar and champagne at Hariri yachts know all. Rubbish!!
