| [Ya Libnan] The pro-Syrian media continues to undermine the Special Tribunal for Lebanon by leaking information that is not credible with the aim of eliminating the Tribunal according to Lebanese legal experts. The most active pro-Syrian newspaper has been the As Safir daily. Yesterday As Safir reported that President Nicolas Sarkozy has said that the decisions of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon lie in the hands of the U.S. Based on As Safir report MP Walid Jumblatt joind the list of critics and repeated what the daily reported when he said "Washington is behind a decision to be issued by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon convicting people in the murder of former PM Rafik Hariri ". "This phase requires a wait-and-see strategy," Jumblatt said in remarks published by several Beirut dailies on Wednesday. "The decision of the International Tribunal, however, is in the hands of the Americans as French President Nicolas Sarkozy was quoted as telling a senior Arab official," Jumblatt added. Jumblatt warned against dragging the country into civil strife. |
