إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Special Tribunal for Lebanon trial is set to witness “prominent developments,” a March 14 MP linked to the trial told the Saudi daily al-Riyadh on Sunday.
Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri may make an appearance at the trial to issue a testimony in the assassination of his father, former PM Rafik Hariri, on February 14, 2005.
The trial kicks off at The Hague on January 16, 2014.
It will commence at 9:30 CET with opening statements by the Prosecutor, the Legal Representatives of the Victims participating in the proceedings, as well as opening statements, if any, for the Defense.
The STL Trial Chamber also announced that there will be a Pre-Trial Conference starting at 10:30a.m. CET on January 9, 2014.
The STL was set up to tackle the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
In 2011, it indicted four Hizbullah members,Mustafa Amin Badreddine, Salim Jamil Ayyash, Hussein Hassan Oneissi, and Assad Hassan Sabra, were indicted in the attack.
A fifth Hizbullah suspect, Hassan Habib Merhi, was indicted in 2013.
Earlier in December, STL spokesman Marten Youssef said that joining the cases of Ayyash et al. and Merhi is up to the international judges.
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has rejected the STL, describing it as an American-Israeli product bent on destroying the party.
He has vowed never to cooperate with the tribunal, saying that the suspects, who remain at large, will never be found.

Cheikh Saad al-Haribi Telteyn al-Marajil will testify as reported by sources close tho the STL. According to the same sources, cheikh al-Haribi will tell them how Bashar told him when he was with him in the same bed that Rafic Syria was Syria's best Rafic and that 60+ billion US dollars are more than enough proof of such Rafications, among other filth Rafic Syria was known for. As to the question relating to why inspector Wissam al-Clouseau was absent for the first time ever from the entourage the day of the grand barbecue, cheikh al-Haribi will... well... umm... duh... stutter and splatter saliva and say that he trusts inspector al-Clouseau and not inspector Bo Bin al-Sweden.
