Lebanon Supports UN Tribunal
The Lebanese Cabinet has agreed to UN plans for an international tribunal to try suspects accused of killing former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Hariri was assassinated February 14, 2005 in a massive explosion that is believed to be a suicide car bomb. The UN plans are still in draft form, so we will have to wait and see exactly what kind of tribunal they will use. It appears right now that it will likely be held outside of Lebanon using a mixture of Lebanese and international law and judges. It will be interesting to see if Syria is involved as the Lebanese believe.
