Riyadh and Cairo Link Justice in Hariri Case to Lebanon’s Stability
The Saudi and Egyptian foreign ministers have agreed that justice should be served in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s Feb. 2005 assassination to achieve stability in Lebanon, informed sources said.
Al-Liwaa daily quoted the sources as saying that Egyptian FM Mohammed al-Orabi and his Saudi counterpart Prince Saud al-Faisal stressed during talks they held on Sunday that the questioning of the suspects is the only way to deter the offenders and end the series of assassinations that shook Lebanon in the past years.
The end of the killing spree would also guarantee the security of Lebanon and preserve its stability and national unity, they said.
Al-Orabi and al-Faisal stressed that the international tribunal would question people and not organizations or political or religious groups, in reference to Hizbullah.
The four suspects named in the arrest warrants handed by the tribunal to the Lebanese general prosecutor last week are members of Hizbullah.
