Saniora: Hizbullah Hiding 4 Hariri Murder Suspects
Former Premier Fouad Saniora has reiterated that Nasrallah had links to the four suspects indicted by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon and was contributing to their protection.
During a press conference he held in the southern city of Sidon on Saturday, the Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc leader said Hizbullah’s rejection to cooperate with the STL, which is probing ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s Feb. 2005 assassination, is “strange” and “illegal.”
“Hizbullah is refusing to implement the law and protecting the accused,” he said.
The party’s insistence that none of the four suspects made an interview with TIME magazine, confirms that it has ties with the Hizbullah members who were indicted by the tribunal, Saniora said.
He challenged Hizbullah to provide the evidence that the four men didn’t carry out Hariri’s murder during trials at the STL, saying “if they have anything to say, then its place is at court where they can make all objections and show evidence.”
