Saudi Arabia has decided to contribute 10 million dollars to the budget of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, western diplomatic sources said.

The sources told the Central News Agency and several other agencies that Riyadh informed tribunal officials about its decision.

The news came after Canada decided to grant an additional 1 million dollars to the STL which is probing the 2005 assassination of former Premier Rafik Hariri.

The total of Canadian contributions to the STL reached 3.7 million dollars, al-Mustaqbal daily remarked.
