Bellemare”s Team Leaves for the Hague
Members of the U.N. commission probing the 2005 killing of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri and related crimes have started leaving Lebanon to join the international tribunal in the Hague.
The Markaziya newsletter also said the move to the Hague would be concluded by end of the year.
The commission, it added, has concluded its mission in Lebanon, and the extension of its term by two months that would be requested by its Canadian head Daniel Bellemare is related "to the transition and not to further investigations."
Bellemare would release his final report on Dec. 4 to be reviewed by the U.N. Security Council 12 days later.
The report would not disclose names of the culprits. Bellemare would make the disclosure in a charge sheet that he would release late in February after he assumes his new post as the prosecutor general of the international tribunal that would be functioning by March 1.
