Hezbollah Members Charged with Murdering Hariri

The Hague Special Tribunal for Lebanon today charged four members of the Lebanese Hezbollah with the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri and 22 others in a truck bomb attack nearly nine years ago. (Al Arabiya, 16 January)

Prosecutor Norman Farrell told the Special Tribunal that the evidence in the case included large amounts of data from mobile phones allegedly used by the Hezbollah suspects to plan and execute the bombing.


“The attackers used an extraordinary amount of high explosives, far more than necessary,” Farrell said. “It is not that the perpetrators did not care if they killed their fellow citizens. They intended to do so.” (Al Arabyia, 16 January)

you don't know jack, buddy.

despite everyone knowing that Hezbollah committed the murders in association with their friends, Assad and the Ayatollah, there still must be a trial and a verdict at law.
