إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
MP Jamil al-Sayyed is set to stand as witness before the Special Tribunal for Lebanon in the assassination case of ex-PM Rafik Hariri and companions, Naharnet sources said on Friday.
According to the sources, former General Security head Sayyed will stand before the tribunal on June 5, 6 and 7.
Hariri was assassinated in a massive car explosion on February 14, 2005 in Beirut which killed 21 others, and injured 226 more.
Al-Sayyed was one of four generals ordered jailed by the STL in connection with the assassination of Hariri, father of Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri.
The four generals were eventually released due to lack of evidence.
Al-Sayyed has accused so-called “false witnesses” of framing him and the other three generals.
Sayyed, elected lawmaker in Lebanon’s May 6 elections, has demanded that the justice ministerial portfolio be allocated to his pro-Damascus March 8 political camp.

But surely he will testify according to Hezbollahs instructions, so why kill him?

I just realized (sitting quietly doing nothing is excellent for your political awareness) that the STL is part of the NATO plan to keep the Christian minority "in power" in Lebanon. It is having the opposite effect, just like the rest of NATO's operations in Lebanon.
