conspiracy, all four Accused played important roles in the attack on 14 February 2005
and therefore all four bear criminal responsibility for the results of the attack.

Ill. A Concise Statement of the Facts
6. The Prosecutor submits, pursuant to Rule 68(D) of the Rules of Procedure and
Evidence of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, that the following facts have been
ascertained during the ongoing investigation.
A. OVERVIEW
7. On 14 February 2005, at 12:55 on Rue Minet el Hos'n in Beirut, Rafik HARIRl, the
former Prime Minister of Lebanon, was assassinated as a result of a terrorist act in
which a suicide bomber detonated a large quantity of high explosives concealed in a
Mitsubishi Canter van. In addition to killingHARIRI, the explosion killed 21 other
persons (listed in Schedule A) and injured 231 persons (listed in Schedule B).
8. Shortly after the explosion, Al-Jazeera news network in Beirut received a video with a
letter attached on which a man named Ahmad ABU ADASS (ABU ADASS) falsely
claimed to be the suicide bomber on behalf of a fictional fundamentalist group called
'Victory and Jihad in Greater Syria'. The video was later broadcast on television.
B. RAFIK HARIRI
9. Rafik Baha'eddine AL-HARlRI (HARIRI) was born on 1 November 1944 in the city
of Sidon, Lebanon. HARlRI served as Prime Minister of Lebanon in five
governments from 31 October 1992 to 4 December 1998, and from 26 October
2000 until his resignation on 26 October 2004.
10. From 20 October 2004 until his assassination, HARIRl was a Member of Parliament
and a prominent political figure in Lebanon. Upon resigning as Prime Minister in
2004, he started preparing for parliamentary elections to be held in June 2005.
11. In the morning of 14 February 2005, HARlRI departed his residence at Quraitem

49. On 14 February 2005, at about 12:52, closed-circuit TV footage shows the Mitsubishi
Canter van move slowly towards the St. Georges Hotel.
50. On 14 February 2005, at about 12:55, a male suicide bomber detonated a large
quantity of high explosives concealed in the cargo area of the Mitsubishi Canter van
with engine block number 4D33-JO 1926, killing HARIRI as his convoy of six
vehicles on Rue Minet el Hos'n passed the St. Georges Hotel.
51. The explosion took place on a busy public street and was enormous and terrifying.
Forensic examination has established the quantity of explosives was approximately
2500 kilogrammes of TNT (trinitrotoluene) equivalent. In addition to HARIRI, 8
members of his convoy and 13 members of the public were killed. Not including the
suicide bomber, the explosion killed a total of 22 persons. Due to the size of the
explosion, the attack attempted to kill a further 231 persons who were injured, and
also caused partial destruction of the St. Georges Hotel and nearby buildings.
52. Fragments of the suicide bomber were recovered at the scene and forensic
examination has established both that the remains were: (a) ofa male, and (b) not of
ABU ADASS. The identity of the suicide bomber remains unknown.
3. Delivery of the Video
53. Starting about 75 minutes after the attack, ONEISSI and SA BRA made a total of 4
calls to the offices of the Reuters and AI-Jazeera news networks in Beirut. All 4
phone calls were made using the same prepaid Telecard 6162569 fTom 4 different
public payphones:
a. At about 14:11, ONEISSI or SABRA, both acting together, claimed to Reuters
that a fictional fundamentalist group called' Victory and Jihad in Greater Syria'
executed the attack.
b. At about 14: 19, ONEISSI or SABRA, both acting together, uttered into the phone
to AI-Jazeera a claim of responsibility from 'Victory and Jihad in Greater Syria',
a report of which was broadcast shortly after.
c. At about 15:27, SABRA called AI-Jazeera and gave information on where to find
a videocassette which had been placed in a tree at the ESCW A Square near the
