Four Lebanese Generals to Be Handed to UN for Rafik Hariri Tribunal
[Times-UK] David Charter - Four army generals held in Lebanon over the assassination of former prime minister Rafik Hariri are expected to be handed over within weeks to the UN tribunal in The Hague that will put them on trial, the court registrar said Tuesday. Ex-Lebanese intelligence chief Raymond Azar, Mustapha Hamdan of the presidential guard, Internal Security Forces Director Ali Hajj, and Jamil al-Sayyed from Lebanese General Security were arrested under the orders of former chief investigator Detlev Mehlis, the German prosecutor who carried out the initial UN inquiry. Mehlis concluded that there was evidence implicating Syrian and Lebanese intelligence services in the assassination.
