Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri announced on Saturday that he will attend the opening session of the trial of the alleged killers of his father, late premier Rafik Hariri, on January 16 in The Hague.
“Hariri will head a March 14 delegation to attend the opening session of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon,” radio Voice of Lebanon (93.3) reported on Saturday afternoon.
The STL announced in December 2013 that its Trial Chamber has scheduled the start of trial in the case of the 2005 assassination of late premier Hariri and his companions for January 16, 2014.
The STL also confirmed that it has received Lebanon’s share of the 2013 budget from the government.
The full sum of 29, 386, 609 euros, amounting to 49 per cent of the tribunal's budget, was transferred to the STL's bank account, it said.
In 2011, the court accused four Hizbullah members -- Mustafa Badreddine, Salim Ayyash, Hussein Oneissi and Assad Sabra – of being involved in the attack. A fifth Hizbullah suspect, Hassan Habib Merhi, was indicted in 2013.
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has rejected the STL, describing it as an American-Israeli product bent on destroying the party.
He has vowed never to cooperate with the tribunal, saying that the suspects, who remain at large, will never be found.
Hariri and 22 others were killed in a massive car bomb in Beirut on February 14, 2005.

It's been a long wait, but it's worth it.
Soon the evidence will be shown to expose the murderous HA for what they are...... a Terrorist Organization, bent on killing their political opponents, and anyone who speaks against them. They are not fit to be part of any government.

Nasrallah Leads by example: where is Eid? Where are the four now five suspects of HA in harriri murder? Where are the members of HA found in Boutros Elevator ?
If anyone speaks the truth which hurts sometimes then they are accused of being American or Mossad or m14.
We move into the lies and deception, m8 forms a government and agreed with their ministers on the disassociation policy until their master in Iran and Syria gave them the signal to do the opposite, every militia called resistance turned their weapons after the war except the same liars who ignited 2006 war and currently involved the entire state in the Syrian war by destabilizing every section of the country. Open your blind mind and eyes before every non HA get armed at which point there will be no state to hide behind its shadow or rob or protect you.
