Hajj issues warrants for 10 Collaborators

Military Examining Magistrate Abdullah Hajj interrogated 10 former members of the defunct militia on Monday and issued warrants for their arrest.
Hajj sent the cases to Military Prosecutor Nasri Lahoud to issue recommendations for prison terms. Hajj said two collaborators should receive up to 15 years with hard labor on charges of collaborating with a wartime enemy.
Brigadier Maher Safieddine, who presides over the permanent Military Tribunal, is scheduled to prosecute 70 former militiamen on Wednesday in his 21st trial proceeding for the collaborators.
