The brother-in-law of slain Hizbullah commander Imad Mughniyeh was involved in the assassination of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri, Israel's Channel 1 reported. The TV station said Thursday night that Mustafa Badr al-Din, who is also a top Hizbullah official, is the main suspect in Hariri's Feb. 2005 murder. Lebanon is sitting on a "powder keg" which will explode when the international tribunal names Badr el-Din as the primary suspect in the Hariri assassination case, Channel 1 said. It added the Lebanese are aware that if the man was accused of involvement in the murder there would be an "earthquake" in the country. http://www.naharnet.com/domino/tn/NewsDesk.nsf/Lebanon/DA15CB1E57536310C2257770001ECD76?OpenDocument -------------------------------------------------- info file:

The darkness grew thicker a few months later when the man dispatched as the new chief in Beruit, William Buckley, was kidnapped by Hezbollah. Hezbollah wanted the government of Kuwait to release Mustafa Badr al-Din (the brother-in-law of Imad Mughniyad, Hezbollah's IJO terror chief), who was responsible for the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait City. But the United States would not allow itself to be blackmailed by terrorists." excerpt from Copyright © 2005 by Gary Berntsen
Fatima Issawi, spokeswoman for the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, said its UN mandate required the government of Lebanon to arrest and turn over any indicted suspects for trial. There is no confirmation that investigators had plans to charge the militant group. She said: "It would be quite unhelpful to add to the existing speculations. The Office of the Prosecutor will issue an indictment when it is ready." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mustafa Badr Aldin, the brother in-law of assassinated Hezbollahcommander Imad Mughniyeh, is the prime suspect in the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in 2005, Channel 1 reported Thursday. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3927186,00.html |
