U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday said the United States welcomed the conviction by a UN-backed court of a Hezbollah member of conspiring to kill former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri in a 2005 bombing.
In a statement, Pompeo also slammed Hezbollah's 'exploitation' of the financial system of Lebanon, which is reeling from the aftermath of the huge Aug. 4 explosion, and said the degradation of Lebanese institutions jeopardized the country's financial well-being and potential recovery.
