Al Jazeera, 19 Aug 2020
The Special Tribunal for Lebanon has reached a verdict over an assassination that sent shockwaves through the Middle East and transformed Lebanon's political future.

Salim Ayyash, a member of Hezbollah, has been found guilty over the 2005 bombing that killed former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

It took 15 years and $1bn for the judges to reach their conclusion - but none of the suspects have ever been arrested.
