Will The Hariri Bomb Enactment In France Be Cancelled?

This is from Assafir, so take it with a grain of salt:

France was considering abolishing the re-enactment of the crime of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri after giving it a second thought, As-Safir newspaper reported Thursday. “After reviewing its accounts following questions over the need for and the benefit behind the reenactment on French territory, Paris was moving toward abolishing reenactment of the Hariri crime,” A French source told As-Safir.

Remember, only 5 days ago, more details emerged (French link) on the enactment like the exact location (The captieux military camp south of Bordeau) and the date (September 28). So if Assafir’s source is correct, we’re talking about a major last-minute political intervention to cancel it, and that could not have come out of thin air.

There’s already a French denial that surfaced on LBC:

LBC television on Thursday, however, quoted French sources as denying that Paris is likely to abolish reenactment of the Hariri crime. The sources said such a decision is linked to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, not France.
