Lebanese Newspaper: New Israeli Witness In Hariri Case

Lebanese newspaper Aldiyar (my translation):

A new witness has entered the fray in the case of Rafik Hariri’s assassination. He says he’s Druz Israeli, a lawyer and an ex-officer in the Israeli army. He is seeking political asylum at the Lebanese embassy in Prague and says that he has information from Israel and Lebanon about what happened in March 14 2005. He’s willing to share what he knows about the explosion that killed PM Hariri

This seems to me like the unfolding of a strategy that everyone appears to agree on: Play for time and postpone the STL’s findings.

Update: The foreign ministry [.. ] expressed regret at the way Ad-Diyar reported the news. It said Prague embassy officials believe that the man is most probably mentally unstable or was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
