Four Mujahedeen accused they allegedly had role in the 2005 assassination of former premier Rafiq Hariri would be put on trial by mid-2012, Special Tribunal for Lebanon said.

"The trial could begin at the Special Tribunal for Lebanon in mid-2012”, an official in the tribunal said on condition of anonymity Friday.
He said this was an estimate only and will be used for administrative planning by the court registrar, who previously said the tribunal could be ready for trial by September or October.
A final decision on a trial date rests with the judges at the Hague-based tribunal.

This month the STL published its so-called indictment claiming it had enough evidence to put the four mujahedeen on trial.

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah denounced the so-called indictment, saying it didn’t hold but circumstantial evidences. His eminence also stressed that the telecommunication sector has been exposed to Israeli intelligence.

Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah reiterated earlier that the Tribunal is an Israeli-US tool aimed at crashing the resistance, the unreachable goal of July war 2006. He also threatened that the resistance would cut off the hand which would arrest any of its mujahedeen.
