The yellow journalism grew in intensity with fireworks from America's foremost rumor mill. NY Daily News, July 04, 2011, UN tribunal's indictments show Lebanon's Hezbollah terrorists for the murdering thugs they are, by editorials, daily news staff writer. "There was never a scintilla of doubt that Hezbollah terrorists were behind the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, and now it's official. A United Nations tribunal issued indictments after a long investigation into the 2005 attack that killed Hariri and 23 others. The panel asked Lebanon's government to arrest ranking Hezbollah operative Mustafa Badreddine and three accomplices. Badreddine is also a leading suspect in the 1983 bombing of a Marine barracks in Beirut that killed 241 Americans."

"Quoting reliable sources, al-Aswat said the 183-page indictment lists the reasons and political motivations behind the assassination as well as the planning, execution and cover-up stages."

""the first indictments of the tribunal have been issued, naming four individuals from Hizbullah. In a fiery speech, Nasrallah renewed his accusations that the tribunal was an American-Israeli instrument and warned that neither Prime Minister Najib Mikati's government nor any other government could reach or arrest these individuals in 300 years."
Editor: Actually, in a calm speech, Nasrallah said:
"Consequently, let things move in their natural track. Indeed, we are working in a way not to embarrass the government or anyone else, and I believe that not in 30 days or 60 days or one year or two years or 30 years or 300years, they would find, detain or arrest them. The whole play with its minute details is very clear."
