“No Smoking Gun”

August 17, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui

Bummer:

The special court investigating Hariri’s murder unsealed the 47-page indictment against four members of the Iranian-backed Shiite militia Hezbollah for alleged involvement in the deadly truck bombing that killed Hariri.
[…] Prosecutors acknowledge in the indictment’s preamble that they have no smoking gun linking the suspects to the attack despite years of painstaking investigations. The file relies to a large extent on circumstantial evidence “which works logically by inference and deduction,” the indictment said.

Looks like Neil McDonalds could be right after all..
