Today's Highlighted Video Story: A United Nations-backed tribunal has found a member of the Lebanese group Hezbollah guilty of assassinating former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri in a massive bomb blast in 2005.
Three other Hezbollah suspects were, however, cleared on Tuesday.
The verdict by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) - an international court based near The Hague, Netherlands - came more than 15 years after Hariri was killed on February 14, 2005, along with 21 others in the blast in the capital, Beirut.
"We accept the verdict of the tribunal and want justice to be implemented," said former Prime Minister Saad Hariri, adding that he wants "just punishment" for the criminals.
