Kuwaiti daily Al-Rai has announced that it will publish Friday "a classified document it obtained," which is allegedly related to Abdul Baset Bani Audeh, a witness in the Hariri case.

According to Al-Rai, the classified document is signed by the international investigation commission into the murder of ex-PM Rafik Hariri.

Israel traded 52 Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners to Hizbullah in exchange for the gun of an Israeli airman who went missing in southern Lebanon in 1986, a newspaper said on Thursday.

Details of the December 2000 deal were revealed by the mass-selling Yediot Aharonot newspaper, which said it was a secret part of negotiations to release three soldiers and a businessman captured in separate incidents that year.

Hizbullah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Thursday called on "every official and every citizen to boycott the work of U.N. investigators" probing the murder of former premier Rafik Hariri.

"I call on all officials to do what their conscience and honor tell them … Enough violations."

Around one hour after Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah called on the Lebanese to boycott the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea criticized Nasrallah's televised speech, describing it as "very dangerous."

Geagea described Nasrallah's stances as threats against the Lebanese State, noting that the State is "the side mainly dealing with U.N. investigators."

Terje Roed-Larsen, U.N. Special Envoy for the implementation of Security Council Resolution 1559, said Thursday that Lebanon is in a "hyper-dangerous" state because of the "heavily armed militias" operating in it.

The envoy, Terje Roed Larsen, called for urgent efforts to disarm groups such as Hizbullah in Lebanon, warning that there is "a hurricane blowing up" in the Middle East.

The Office of the Prosecutor of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon on Wednesday denounced "the use of violence," after a group of women charged at U.N. investigators at a Dahiyeh gynecology clinic and snatched a briefcase containing documents from them.

"The investigation into the Hariri attack will continue and this incident will not deter the OTP from pursuing its mission," STL's press office stressed in a communiqué.

The attack this morning in Beirut against staff members of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon is a deplorable attempt to obstruct justice, STL's press office said in a communiqué on Wednesday.

"Those who carried out this attack must know that violence will not deter the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, a court of law, from fulfilling its mandate," added the communiqué.

Men disguised as Muslim women clad in burqa (black veil and top to toe gown) were reportedly part of the group of women that attacked U.N. investigators at a Beirut clinic who were on a mission to obtain phone numbers of between 14 to 17 people.

On Wednesday, a group of women stormed into a gynecologist's clinic in Beirut's southern suburbs and clashed with investigators from the Special Tribunal for Lebanon.
