Special Tribunal for Lebanon Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare has denied media reports that he would file the indictment in the case of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri's assassination in September.
"The indictment has not been drafted yet. As I have previously said, I will only file the indictment when I am satisfied that there is enough evidence," he said in an interview with NOW Lebanon.

"I will let nobody rush me with anything. It is a full circle ...Let me say that the impact of going too fast would be much worse. As I said before: The indictment has to be based on solid evidence," Bellemare told his interviewer.

He said he was working on evidentiary process and that he had to make sure the evidence he will produce is admissible in court. "If I file an indictment and there is no evidence, the whole structure collapses."

Asked about circumstantial evidence, he said: It "is a number of little facts that, when you look at them on their own, they might mean nothing. But when you put them together, then the whole picture becomes irrefutable."

He reiterated that he would resign if faced with political interference that he cannot deal with. "To those who say I am influenced by this or that person, I will tell them, 'Sorry, but I am not!'"

When asked if he had interviewed an Israeli citizen, the prosecutor said: "At this point this is part of the ongoing investigation."
About what is termed as "false witnesse," Bellemare told his interviewer that Mohammed Zuheir Siddiq "is not somebody we will produce in court as a witness" and that Hussam Hussam was "not a suspect."

Turning to the evidence that Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah had unveiled during a press conference, Bellemare said: "We asked for all of the information that he had, including the audio and video material. What we got was what was shown on TV, while he said at one point that there was more. And more was not part of what we received. So I asked for that."
