President Aoun ruled out as "impossible" on Tuesday the hypothesis that a Hizbullah arms depot was behind the Beirut port blast, stressing that the party wasn't storing arms there.

There are “strict instructions” from al-Mustaqbal Movement to prevent “any reactions on the ground” over the verdicts that will be issued Tuesday by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon in the case of the 2005 assassination of ex-PM Rafik Hariri, a Mustaqbal MP said.

“We won't allow the verdict to drag the country into any internal troubles,” Hajjar told al-Jadeed TV.

The death of Rafik Hariri is to many Lebanese what the JFK assassination was to Americans four decades earlier -- everybody remembers what they were doing when the news broke.

The special tribunal trying the four suspects accused of the 2005 assassination of Lebanon's former prime minister Rafik Hariri is expected to deliver its verdict on Tuesday.

A UN-backed court is to deliver its judgement Tuesday on four suspected Hezbollah members tried in absentia for former Lebanese premier Rafik Hariri's murder in a 2005 Beirut car bombing.

A UN-backed tribunal will hand down its verdict Tuesday on the 2005 murder of former premier Rafik Hariri, two weeks after the Lebanese capital was rocked by a massive explosion.

Amer Fakhoury, an ex-member of the pro-Israel South Lebanon Army militia who was jailed for several months in Lebanon, passed away on Monday at his residence in the United States following a battle with cancer, Lebanese media reports said.

The release of Lebanese-American citizen Fakhoury in March and his eventual travel to the U.S. in mysterious circumstances had sparked controversy in Lebanon.

Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri stressed Monday that Lebanon’s salvation lies in the establishment of a “civil state.”

“There will be no solution nor salvation for Lebanon unless everyone shows the courage to seek a civil state. Lebanon’s salvation hinges on carrying out this constitutional surgery,” Berri said in a chat with reporters.

Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri on Monday left Beirut for Leidschendam, in the suburbs of The Hague, to attend Tuesday’s session of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, which is scheduled to pronounce its judgment in the case of the 2005 assassination of ex-PM Rafik Hariri and his companions.

After the session, Hariri will make a statement regarding the judgment, his press office said.

Judicial investigator into the Beirut port blast Judge Fadi Sawwan on Monday interrogated detained Customs chief Badri Daher for 4.5 hours before issuing an arrest warrant against him, the National News Agency said.

The interrogation session was held in the presence of Daher’s lawyers Munif Hamdan and George Khoury.
