Hezbollah calls for boycott of UN tribunal

The leader of the militant Hezbollah group has called on all Lebanese to boycott the UN tribunal investigating the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri.

Sheik Hassan Nasrallah spoke Thursday, a day after a crowd of women attacked two UN investigators and a Lebanese interpreter as they gathered evidence at a private medical clinic in Beirut. The attack underscored the charged emotions behind the tribunal, which Hezbollah says is biased. Nasrallah did not address whether Hezbollah asked the crowd to gather.
