Report: Lahoud, Karami, Franjieh among Leaders to be Summoned as Witnesses by Hariri Court

Ex-President Emile Lahoud, former Premier Omar Karami and Marada movement leader Suleiman Franjieh are among Lebanese officials to be summoned as witnesses by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, a Kuwaiti newspaper reported.

 

Al-Rai, citing a prominent Arab source, said Wednesday that former cabinet ministers Wiam Wahab and Talal Arslan as well as former MP Nasser Qandil will also be summoned as witnesses.

 

The sources did not rule out the possibility that Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem be called into the international tribunal that would try suspects in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
