Oneissi's attorney to NNA: we expect fifth member to join suspects list

NNA - Defense attorney of Hussein Oneissi, currently being tried in The Hague for involvement of the 2005 killing of statesman Rafic Hariri, on Monday told the National News Agency that the list of suspects might include a fifth individual, noting that four Hezbollah members are being now prosecuted.



"Our stance will be determined later, building on the givens the General Prosecutor will advance, because we expect the fifth accused to be added to the list of suspects," lawyer Yasser Hassan said.



"I still haven?t said all I need and have to say," he stressed, shedding light on the tremendous difficulties the Defense Counsel is shouldering to assume its defensive role."The nature of the opening pleadings was only relevant to the remarks the defense had made on the conduct and course of work of the General Prosecutor," he continued.



"The case enfolds a lot of details which the Defense still didn?t obtain," he concluded.
