The March 14-led opposition rejected turning the parliament and constitutional institutions into platforms from which Hizbullah launches campaigns against the international tribunal, the coalition’s sources said.

The sources told An Nahar daily published Friday that Hizbullah was using the state institutions to defend the four suspects that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon indicted in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s Feb. 2005 assassination.

Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Hassan Fadlallah slammed on Thursday the indictment in the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, saying that depending on telecommunications data alone as evidence is not enough in a case as sensitive as the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

He said during a press conference on the indictment’s telecommunications data: “The tribunal, its decisions, and the investigation have created a dangerous divide in Lebanon.”

March 14 leaders discussed the indictment issued by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon and Hizbullah’s stance from it during talks they held on Tuesday night, al-Liwaa daily reported.

The newspaper said Thursday that the meeting was held between Phalange party leader Amin Gemayel, former Premier Fouad Saniora and Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea.

March 14-led opposition lawyers are expected to hold a press conference next week to snap back at Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Mohammed Raad, An Nahar daily reported Thursday.

On Tuesday, Raad accused Israel and the U.S. of drafting the indictment published by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon. It accuses four Hizbullah members in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s Feb. 2005 assassination case.

General Prosecutor Saeed Mirza will submit to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon the relevant files of the attacks against former ministers Marwan Hamadeh and Elias al-Murr and the assassination of ex-Lebanese Communist Party leader Georges Hawi.

Pre-Trial Judge Daniel Fransen as ruled that the three attacks are linked to the 2005 murder of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

Following on Pre-Trial Judge Daniel Fransen’s rulings on connectivity and deferral, the Office of the Prosecutor looks forward to receiving the relevant files from the Lebanese authorities in relation to the attacks against former ministers Marwan Hamadeh and Elias al-Murr and assassination of former Lebanese Communist Party leader Georges Hawi, said the Special Tribunal for Lebanon in a statement.

“The Pre-Trial Judge’s decisions mark a new chapter in the Office of the Prosecutor’s work,” it stated.

The head of the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Mohammed Raad slammed on Tuesday the indictment in the Special Tribunal for Lebanon as “fake”, accusing the investigation of being politicized in order to target the Resistance.

He said in a press conference to refute the indictment: “The Resistance will determine the way it will defend itself from the indictment and tribunal.”

TIME magazine correspondent Nicholas Blanford has expressed readiness to appear as a witness before the Special Tribunal for Lebanon if the court asks him to do so.

Blanford met with General Prosecutor Saeed Mirza at the Justice Palace on Monday in the presence of his lawyer despite his insistence that he did not know who carried out an interview with a suspect wanted in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s assassination case.

Interior Minister Marwan Charbel stated on Monday that the TIME Magazine interview with one of the suspects in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri targets Hizbullah.

He said before a delegation from the editors syndicate: “Targeting Hizbullah will have consequences and spark debates that do not fall in Lebanon’s interests because whoever wants to create unrest in Lebanon does so through creating sectarian tensions.”

Al-Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc leader Fouad Saniora has hinted that Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was protecting the four suspects in ex-Premier Rafik Hariri’s assassination.

Saniora said Sunday that he was linking the TIME magazine interview with one of the suspects to the statement of Nasrallah that “these individuals are not expected to turn themselves even in 300 years.”
