BEIRUT: MP Marwan Hamadeh announced Tuesday that he would head to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon where his case is being processed in along with the late Prime Minister Rafic Hariri’s assassination file.
“I will go to The Hague in the near future to follow up on the assassination attempt case,” Hamadeh said at the Chouf village of Mazraa, during the 10th memorial ceremony for his companion, Sgt. Maj. Yehya Bou Karoum, who was killed in the assassination attempt.
Hamadeh said that his stance on the matter was in harmony with the vision of Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblatt and derive from the principles of the Druze leader’s late father, Kamal Jumblatt.
The ceremony was also attended by a representative of Jumblatt, Druze spiritual judge Sheikh Fouad Beaini, the village’s mayor and other local leaders in the area.
In October 2004, Hamadeh was severely wounded when his motorcade was targeted by a car bomb near his residence in Ras Beirut. His assassination attempt was the first of a series of bombings targeting critics of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime.
