Manama: Speaking at the Manama dialogue us Secretary Hillary Clinton departed from discussing Gulf security to throw her backing of the special tribunal for Lebanon.

“The special tribunal established by the United Nations represents a statement by the world that the era of political assassination with impunity in Lebanon or anywhere must end. To those who claim that the tribunal will destabilize Lebanon, I would answer justice is not a threat to Lebanon’s stability. The attempt to subvert justice by undermining the tribunal [is] the threat. The US joins the international community in supporting a sovereign independent and stabile Lebanon,” she said.
