Rafiq Hariri, Former Lebanese Prime Minister
The UN "accountability" apparatus is on display in The Hague this week, as a whopping nine years after the murder of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, a trial finally gets underway. Except that the dock is empty and the four men on trial aren't there. "The four suspects remain on the run, and Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the pro-Syrian Shia paramilitary organisation, Hizbullah, of which they were members, has warned: "Any hand that touches them will be cut off."" The murderers protectors have a controlling interest in the Lebanese government of today.
