Majority Source to Hariri: U.S., Israel are Capable of Changing Indictment

A high-ranking source in the March 8 forces said that the majority agrees with former Premier Saad Hariri that it won’t be able to change anything in the indictment issued by the international tribunal.

But the source told As Safir daily on Wednesday that experience in the past six years showed that the U.S. and Israel are capable of changing the Special Tribunal for Lebanon’s accusations.

The reaction of the March 8 official came after ex-Premier Saad Hariri said on Tuesday night that no matter what “Hizbullah and its leader do, they won’t change a single word in the indictment.”

Premier Najib Miqati, who was attacked by Hariri in the interview with MTV, did not make any comment given that he was on the plane back to Beirut from his vacation.

His sources haven’t replied as well.

Hariri described the prime minister as Hizbullah’s surrogate and accused Miqati of betraying him.
