Report: Ban Briefed on International Tribunal Indictment
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has been briefed on the content of the indictment in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s murder case and a copy of it was referred to the judicial department at the United Nations, pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat on Wednesday.
“The release of the indictment is a matter of few days, if not hours,” sources told the newspaper.
The Special Tribunal for Lebanon was set up in The Hague in 2009 by the U.N. after a massive car bomb attack killed Hariri and 22 others in Beirut in 2005.
Meanwhile, U.N. Special Coordinator for Lebanon Michael Williams headed to New York on Tuesday after holding a meeting with Prime Minister Najib Miqati.
Williams stressed that the U.N. chief is looking forward for the new cabinet to re-confirm its commitment to the implementation of Security Council resolution 1701, and all other international resolutions.
