The United Nations Security Council has voted to establish a
special tribunal to try suspects in the assassination two years ago of the former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. The killing caused massive anti-Syrian demonstrations across Lebanon and forced the withdrawal of Syrian troops from the country after 29 years. A UN investigation into the killing implicated Syria in the attack although Syria strongly denies any involvement.
Saad Hariri, the son of the assassinated politician said this was a victory for all of Lebanon and a turning point for the country. Speaking live on television, he said that the time for justice had come. He said the tribunal was not meant for revenge and he called for unity in Lebanon. His words were echoed by the Prime Minister Fouad Siniora who also gave a live televised address before going to pray at the grave of Rafik Hariri in downtown Beirut. There were celebratory fireworks in parts of the capital, although there is hope this will put an end to a long history of unpunished political assassinations, there is also fear there will be more violence.
