HeadlineAug 10, 2010

In Lebanon, the investigation into the 2005 killing of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik al-Hariri has taken a new turn.

Israeli officials dismissed Nasrallah’s claims. Many analysts have predicted the international tribunal investigating the 2005 assassination will hold Hezbollah culpable.
