Former Minister Sought for Questioning in Beirut Blast Inquiry Seeks Removal of Lead Judge
One of four former ministers facing charges in connection with the Beirut port blast has asked Lebanon's Supreme Court to remove the judge leading the investigation. Former public works minister Youssef Fenianos said he has filed a lawsuit to transfer the case to another judge, arguing that lead investigator Tarek Bitar had no authority to prosecute him.
