The UN-backed tribunal into the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq Hariri has finished its investigation after six years and publishing the indictment is all that remains, London-based newspaper Asharq al-Awsat reported Monday.

According to the report, prosecutor Daniel Bellemare reached a final decision that will be very hard to appeal.

Bellemare is the only person that knows when the verdict will be published, the report claimed.

Last week, it was reported that Lebanese Prime Minister Sa'ad Hariri would ask the UN tribunal to stop its investigation and leave the country.

No indication as to when the tribunal will publish its indictment.

Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare is the only person who knows results of investigation...

I'd imagine that the longest delay would be getting a stenographer and notary past several hundred body guards.
Twice.
