    Lebanon: Interpol issues alerts in Hariri case

    BEIRUT (AP) — Interpol issued its highest-level international alerts against four Hezbollah men indicted in the 2005 slaying of Lebanon's former prime minister, a Lebanese security official said Saturday.

    The Interpol red notices were issued at the request of the Netherlands-based Special Tribunal for Lebanon, said the official, who requested anonymity in line with official regulations.

    The alerts — the equivalent of an international most-wanted list — could deepen the crisis in Lebanon over how to deal with the international court investigating the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in Beirut.

    The Iranian-backed Shiite guerrilla group denies the men's involvement and says they wont be handed over.

    Hezbollah dominates Lebanon's government and has thousands of guerrilla fighters, making it unlikely that authorities will be willing — or able — detain the men.

    The spokesman for the Special Tribunal did not immediately respond to calls for comment.

    On Thursday, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati issued a vague promise that Lebanon would respect international resolutions as long as they did not threaten the civil peace.

    Hezbollah's alleged role in Hariri's assassination threatens to trigger renewed sectarian violence in Lebanon.

    Hezbollah is a Shiite group, and Hariri was a prominent Sunni statesmen. The two Muslim groups form the largest of Lebanon's mosaic of religious minorities.

    Officials at the tribunal and the Interpol could not be immediately reached for comment.

      The four indicted Hamas members have agreed to turn themselves in, but only if they are appointed Jewish lawyers. "We may be ruthless" they said, "but we are not stupid."

      The Lebanese people have proven that they will not be under the domination of anybody .In 15 years of civil war we broke the Palistinians back and kicked the Syrian out. If we have not taken up Arm yet against hizbollah and his other lakies, it is because after 20 years of civil war we are trying to rebuild Lebanon, Beware all l you traitors Iranian and others we are still there as armed as we always were and ready to fight and die if Lebanon inteirity and freedom is at risk.We will not allow you to make of Lebanon a failed state or a Pariah state like your Iran and Syria.., Remember with us you will not be
      fighting a regular army of Israel or any other Army Wth us, as you have experienced in the past there are no rules. Long Live Democratic free Lebanon we are still here and what ever happen we shall remain

        Lebanon has a fragile government made like a kit kat waffer. It standing because the international community supports a sunni/christian government because they balance out the power that the heavy handed shia have. Lebanon is dependent upon outsiders for everything including economic, political. Lebanon is still standing not because it is inner strong, but because if is the precurser to a disolving middle east. All Lebanese people should do is sit and pray because Lebanon has more generals then soldiers or aka more chiefs then indans! Remember even Khalil Gibran rebuking!

      HRC needs to get to NY to draw up the punitive sanctions - Lebanon should be held accountable to the world court -- they run to it when they start wars and want the bombing to stop!

      Interpol has put a special alert out on Muslim killers? That means the Labour Party in London will probably invite them to Parliment to give a speech on "Why Zionism is Destroying Everything."
