Flag flown at half-staff at tribunal on killing of Lebanese ex-PM
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe flag is flying at half-staff outside a United Nations-backed tribunal in the Netherlands that is set to announce verdicts this week in the trial of four Hezbollah members charged with involvement in the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri.
Special Tribunal for Lebanon spokeswoman Wajed Ramadam says the flag is at half-staff “to honor those who lost their lives, who were wounded and who are still missing as a result of the explosion in Beirut yesterday.”
The tribunal will announce verdicts Friday in the long-running trial in absentia of four defendants charged in the February 14, 2005, truck bombing that killed Hariri and 21 others and injured 226 more people.
