Future parliamentary bloc leader MP Saad Hariri filed a legal suit Monday against suspects in the killing of his father, former Premier Rafik Hariri, who was assassinated in 2005, in a bomb blast in Beirut. The case was filed by lawyer Mohammad Mattar, who is representing Hariri, at Examining Magistrate Saqr Saqr's office.
The claim accused four suspects, including arrested generals Jamil al-Sayyed of General Security, Ali al-Hajj from the Internal Security Forces, Mustafa Hamdan of the Presidential Guards and Raymond Azar of military intelligence, of premeditating Hariri's assassination and designing the explosives.
The claim also said accomplices, executors and any other participant in the crime must be legally punished, The Lebanese Daily Star writes.
