Antonio Cassese will be the President of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, according to a UN Press Release issued a few days ago: http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=30286&Cr=lebanon&Cr1=tribunal. Daniel Fransen of Belgium has been appointed as the Pre-Trial Judge. Other details concerning appointment of judges are to be provided later, and once security arrangements are in place, says the press release. It concludes: 'The investigation continues under the guidance of Prosecutor Bellemare, and a trial will take place when he has sufficient evidence is in place, according to the court.' This investigation has been underway for nearly four years. Who done it?
