Report: Two Syrian Officials to Be Named in Hariri Murder Probe

Two Syrian officials are among the names included in new arrest warrants to be issued by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, the Kuwaiti daily al-Anbaa reported Sunday.

It quoted sources close to the March 14-led opposition as saying that two Syrian officials will be accused of involvement in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s Feb. 2005 assassination.

They warned that the naming of the two persons in public would shake the situation in both Syria and Lebanon.

Al-Anbaa reported on Saturday that the STL will issue 14 arrest warrants against officials and military figures from Lebanese and other nationalities.

The STL submitted a confidential indictment and arrest warrants for four suspects in June. The names were not released but were leaked to the media.

Mustafa Badreddin, Salim Ayyash, Assad Sabra and Hussein Anaissi are all members of Hizbullah.
