| [An Nahar] The joint U.N. and international Sherlocks commission informed former ministers Elias Murr and Marwan Hamadeh and ex-LBCI anchorwoman May Chidiac that two of the Hizbullah suspects accused of being involved in the liquidation of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri are also involved in their liquidation attempts, revealed widely informed sources to the Central News Agency on Thursday. The commission also informed them that these same two suspects are also involved in the liquidation of former Lebanese Communist Party leader George Hawi, who was killed in a kaboom planted in his car on June 21, 2005. It added that the international judiciary has now taken over Murr, Hamadeh, and Chidiac's cases, informing them that they should prepare themselves to appear in court at the Special Tribunal for Leb, said the sources. Furthermore, an indictment in their cases, as well as Hawi's, will be releases soon. It will also be accompanied by arrest warrants against a number of suspects. Earlier on Thursday, a delegation from the joint U.N. and international Sherlocks commission held talks with Murr, Hamadeh, and Chidiac on the investigations and their findings. On June 28, the first phase in the indictment in the 2005 liquidation of former Premier Hariri was released along with arrest warrants against four Hizbullah members. Leb had 30 days to apprehend the suspects, but it failed to do so. Hizbullah has repeatedly announced that it will not cooperate with the STL, deeming it an American and Israeli product. The Central News Agency added that the details of the first indictment may be released to the public in a few weeks. |
