Judiciary Sets Date for Mamlouk's Interrogation, Informant's Testimony

Military Examining Magistrate Judge Riyad Abu Ghida set the date for questioning Syrian security chief and another Syrian colonel and the date for hearing informant's in ex-Minister Michel Samaha's case.

The state-run National News Agency reported on Monday that Abu Ghida has set February 4 as the interrogation session to question Syrian Security Chief Maj. Gen. Ali al-Mamlouk and a colonel identified only as Adnan, who are charged along with Samaha with plotting a terror attack in Lebanon.

Samaha was detained in August.

The NNA said that Abu Ghida decided to post the court order at the entrance of Beirut's military court as the whereabouts of al-Mamlouk and Adnan are not known.

Voice of Lebanon radio (100.5) later said that Abu Ghida will hear informant Milad Kfoury's testimony on January 28.

Kfoury is reportedly the man behind reporting Samaha to the Internal Security Forces.
