"Lebanon assassination suspects freed; Lack of evidence cited in killing of ex-prime minister" by Sam F. Ghattas, Associated Press | April 30, 2009
BEIRUT - Lebanon released four generals held for nearly four years in the 2005 truck-bomb assassination of former prime minister Rafik Hariri after a UN-backed tribunal ordered them freed yesterday, setting off celebrations with fireworks and dancing.
One of the officers was cheered by a crowd of hundreds outside his house and another was hoisted onto the shoulders of family and friends and showered with rose petals as supporters danced and blew whistles.
Their release from a Beirut prison left the international tribunal in the Netherlands with no suspects in custody after a four-year UN investigation into an assassination that triggered enormous political and sectarian turmoil in one of the Middle East's most volatile countries.
The tribunal's decision - after prosecutors said there was not enough evidence to justify their continued detention - could also have an immediate political impact....
Yeah, don't bother investigating who really did it, MSM.
