Beirut - Ahmed El-Hajj
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said on Monday that the general prosecutor for the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) will issue a new indictment in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. “General Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare informed me during his recent visit to Lebanon that he will update the indictment for the assassination of the martyr and [former] Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and his companions,” Mikati told LBC in an interview on Saturday. Mikati played down the possibility of further assassinations in Lebanon, explaining that recent intelligence regarding assassination plots against security chiefs has been looked into and that those targeted have been informed of the situation.
