إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
General Prosecutor Saeed Mirza met on Monday with TIME magazine correspondent Nicholas Blanford over an article to which an interview with one of the four suspects in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s assassination was added.
Blanford, one of the co-writers of the TIME article, has denied that he conducted the interview with the unidentified suspect, saying that he only wrote the article on the indictment published by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon and Hizbullah’s stance from it.
Media reports said Blanford arrived at the Justice Palace accompanied by his lawyer.
Mirza told al-Joumhouria daily that he would question Blanford on the issue and then take the necessary legal measures.
The suspect, a Hizbullah member, has said in the interview: “The Lebanese authorities know where I live, and if they wanted to arrest me they would have done it a long time ago. Simply, they cannot.”
Mirza has categorically denied that the prosecution or the police are aware of the place of residence of any of the four suspects and have not proceeded with the arrests as called for by the STL.

What a hypocrisy. Mirza knows very well that the suspects could be apprehended if the Lebanese authorities wanted to. The Time magazine proved that they still are in Lebanon... Et il prouve bien que le Hezbollah nous nargue. What a lame country...

Whatever conclusions the wouldbe inquiry reaches, it is a futile exercice to recover a non existant credibility with the STL. Just like a gearless car, in a dead motion , revving desperately!

This is a great story about a reporter who works for a magazine. The magazine publishes an "interview" that the reporter conducted but really DID NOT conduct. Now that's a trustworthy magazine. This is why I, being a dumb idiot like cheikh Imbecile and his Christian Sunnis and Lebanon Never First, collectively described as idiots, BELIEVE this story. Then they ask: why are we such losers? How can we be idiots and losers at the same time? These two attributes constitute a paradox in their empty brains! WHY?

Hezballah start to gather & distribute valueable info. about STL, the shameful fishy court whose mastermind tried to bring Lebanon into civil strife, but upon the persistence of the party, all who around this "Seniora STL", hopefully, a fair Lebanese justice will bring them up into jail, but not the freedom fighters who free Lebanon from occupation.
