Lebanon's Prime Minister Officially Asks UN to Form Hariri Tribunal
[Daily Star-Lebanon] Rym Ghazal and Nafez Qawas - In an official letter to the UN on Monday, Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora requested help with the establishment of an international tribunal to try suspects in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri "as a matter of urgency." "We called on the UN Security Council to establish the court as soon as possible after all possible means to ratify it in Lebanon have failed," Minister of Information Ghazi Aridi said after a cabinet meeting on Monday. Siniora asked the Security Council to set up the court by whatever means "it deems appropriate."
