According to Now Lebanon Lebanese website, the report added that Suleiman discussed the Special Tribunal for Lebanon’s work and indictment with STL President Judge Sir David Baragwanath, who later met with the Prime Minister Najib Miqati as he is expected to meet with several other senior Lebanese officials.
