Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt has requested the postponement of his testimony before the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, according to local daily Al-Akhbar.
The report Thursday said Jumblatt has asked the STL to be the last witness to be called in to give him time to prepare his personal testimony.
Al-Akhbar said Jumblatt was keen that his testimony would not hurt the ongoing dialogue between Hezbollah and the Future Movement or Lebanon’s stability.
The STL is probing the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri who perished in a massive blast with 21 other people near the Saint George Hotel in Beirut.
