| [An Nahar] March 14 Those are the good guys, insofar as Leb has good guys... -led opposition lawyers are expected to hold a presser next week to snap back at Loyalty to the Resistance That'd be the Hezbullies, natch... bloc MP Mohammed Raad, An Nahar daily reported Thursday. On Tuesday, Raad accused Israel and the U.S. of drafting the indictment published by the Special Tribunal for Leb. It accuses four Hizbullah members in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri's Feb. 2005 liquidation case. He said during a presser he held at parliament that the indictment's aim was to blackmail Hizbullah and topple the resistance. Retired judge and legal expert Salim Jreissati presented a 20-page legal study after Raad's statement, saying the STL had several loopholes. The investigation into Hariri's murder should have reached conclusions and direct evidence and not only circumstantial evidence, he said. The March 14 lawyers will stress in their conference that the protection of the four suspects is a crime punishable by law, An Nahar said. |
