Bellmare Reacts To Hezbollah’s Presentation

August 11, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

From the STL’s official press release (my emphasis):

The Office of the Prosecutor has been given the mandate to identify and prosecute those responsible for the attack. It has sole responsibility for the investigation and acts independently. Nobody can influence its direction. As such, it must pursue all possible leads. “I invite anyone who has relevant information to submit it to my office. Indeed, I welcome any information that can bring us closer to the truth. I can assure those who bring this information that it will be thoroughly assessed”, said the Prosecutor.

The STL’s PR machine is trying to be as terse as possible, lest they get entangled in internal politics. But I would characterize the release’s tone as polite but unyielding.
