The French newspaper Le Monde reported on Saturday that a group affiliated with Hezbollah took photographs of the headquarters of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon in The Hague, as well as its surrounding area.

The daily quoted Registrar of the Special Tribunal Robin Vincent as saying, “Deduce the political conclusions you want.” Vincent noted that the Dutch security services registered three such incidents.

The daily also quoted a Lebanese source as saying that Head of the UN International Independent Investigation Commission Daniel Bellemare requested to interrogate eight Hezbollah officials, noting that the party refused his request.

On Saturday evening an official Hezbollah source denied the report and told NOW Lebanon that it was not worth responding to it because it was completely untrue.

The Hezbollah source also denied that party officials refused Bellemare’s request, saying that such a request “only existed in the author’s imagination.”

The source challenged anyone to reveal evidence on the matter. “The coming days will prove the incredibility of these news stories based on illusions,” he said.
