Hague Ready to Host Hariri Tribunal
Hague Ready to Host Hariri Tribunal(IsraelNN.com) Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen told Dutch public radio Thursday that the Netherlands plans to convene the international court to try suspects in the murder of Lebanese ex-premier Rafiq Hariri. The Syrian government is suspected of being behind the murder.
The United Nations Secretary General wrote to Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende last month asking the Netherlands to host the Hariri tribunal. Balkenende says he will send UN chief Ban Ki-moon his positive response "very soon," Verhagen said
Hariri, an opponent of the Syrian occupation of Lebanon, was killed along with 22 other people in a massive truck bombing in Beirut in February 2005.
Israeli leaders are worried Syria might start a war with Israel in order to prevent the trial from taking place.
As stated in the article this may well be the trigger for a war between Syria and Israel. This is an old Arab method to divert world attention from their evil, like last summers war with Hizbullah. The war was timed to keep the G8 from discussing Iran's nuclear program.
You just have to wonder how long the world will keep falling for the same old thing.
