REPORT: STL adjourns session to Wednesday

 
The Special Tribunal for Lebanon adjourned its session on Tuesday till Wednesday 11:30 am Beirut time.

The Special Tribunal for Lebanon had resumed its hearing sessions of the prosecution’s witnesses in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri this morning.

Firefighter Khaled Toubaili continued the testimony he had started on Monday during which he recounted the details of the extinguishing of fires at the scene of the blast in Beirut.

The trial in absentia of the four suspects accused of killing Lebanese 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 in which former PM Hariri and 21 others were killed.

The suspects - Mustafa Amine Badreddine, a senior Hezbollah figure and brother-in-law of slain Hezbollah commander Imad Moughniyeh, Salim Jamil Ayyash, Hussein Hassan Oneissi and Assad Hassan Sabra - remain at large.
