Schools, public institutions to close on Friday

2^min

Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati issued on Tuesday an administrative memorandum stipulating the closure of public institutions, municipalities as well as public and private schools on Friday the 14th of February to commemorate the ninth anniversary of Hariri's assassination.

On 14 February 2005, former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was killed, along with 21 others, when explosives equivalent of around 1,000 kilograms of TNT were detonated as his motorcade drove near the St. George Hotel in Beirut.

Among the dead were several of Hariri's bodyguards as well as former Minister of Economy Bassel Fleihan.

The trial in absentia of the four suspects accused of killing statesman Rafic Hariri opened in The Hague on Thursday January 16th, nine years after the bomb attack in which the former prime minister and 21 others died.

The Special Tribunal for Lebanon was set up by the United Nations at the Lebanese government's request to try the alleged perpetrators of the 2005 bombing.
