| Description | Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, has implicated Israel for the murder of Rafiq al-Hariri, the former Lebanese prime minister.
In a video address to journalists from an undisclosed location on Monday, Nasrallah said he had evidence to prove Israel's complicity in al-Hariri's assassination in a bomb explosion in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
"He has not provided undisputed, solid proof that implicates Israel," Al Jazeera's Rula Amin reporting from Beirut said.
The Hezbollah leader, however, said that "there is enough evidence pointing to Israel," our correspondent said.
Al-Hariri and 22 others were killed on the Beirut seafront on February 14, 2005.
The assassination sparked an international outcry and led to the withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon.
The murder has been widely blamed on Syria, but Damascus has routinely denied involvement. |
