Hamadeh: 'Unified' STL Indictment Could Be 'Referred' End of Feb.
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
MP Marwan Hamadeh has revealed that Special Tribunal for Lebanon Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare could refer a “unified” indictment to the pre-trial judge before the end of his mandate.
In remarks to Future News on Wednesday, Hamadeh said the court has informed him that the indictment in the assassination attempt against him on Oct. 2004 and ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s Feb. 2005 murder “will be unified and will be referred before Bellemare quits his mission for health reasons.”
Bellemare, whose mandate expires end of this month, has informed U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon that he does not intend to seek reappointment for a second term as prosecutor.
In August, the STL linked the attempted murders of the lawmaker and former Defense Minister Elias Murr and the killing of ex-Communist party leader George Hawi to Hariri’s assassination.
Pre-Trial Judge Daniel Fransen ruled that the prosecutor had presented “prima facie evidence” that each of the three cases are connected, and are thus within the tribunal's jurisdiction.
The indictment in Hariri’s murder was made public the same month. But it was not clear how the indictment in the two cases would be “unified” as claimed by Hamadeh.

I hope the STL joke expedites these trials in abtentia that they have been talking about. This will expedite the hanging in abstentia of the accused. Also, this will expedite the closure of the joke in abstentia. After all is said and done in abstentia, Mafia Hariri and their Christian Sunnis will live forever in abstentia. Thank you to Fabrikante Marwan Hamade. Thank you to his step-son and maxi-Fabrikante like his dad, Mohammad Zuheir al Siddiq

The false witnesses, they were so important that they forgot about them after taking the government.

Building a Hizbollah Shia Country bowing to its Iranian masters and by eliminating all the political leaders against the Alawite Baath ruling party in Syria has failed and the STL unfolded the truth and will continue to do so. No it is not Israel that eliminated all the Leb leaders because they would have played both sides and eliminated one of each to create instability in Lebanon, the assassins are well known and it is no brainer who did it.
