Local Editor

Hizbullah Deputy Secretary General His Eminence Sheikh Naim Qassem confirmed that Hizbullah is not concerned with the Special Tribunal for Lebanon's (STL) course of investigations.

In an interview with BBC Arabia, Sheikh Qassem revealed that Hizbullah refused a list of names which the STL requested to investigate with, repeating what His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said, in reference to what PM Saad Hariri said that the indictment will be issued against "rogue" members of the party.

Sheikh Qassem in this context added that there is nothing to be said about how Hizbullah would react if the indictment was issued accusing members of Hizbullah, because there are many possibilities.

Hizbullah Deputy Secretary General stressed that if such an indictment was issued, it would result in grave danger on Lebanon, in addition to negative consequences and repercussions.

Sheikh Naim Qassem rejected news on an upcoming meeting between PM Saad Hariri and Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, saying that there is no need for such a meeting, yet Hizbullah will not refuse a meeting if requested.
