The indictments will go before a

pretrial

judge who will decide how to

proceed

. From Beirut, here's Jeremy Bowen.

This is the first indictment the tribunal has issued.

Leaks suggest that the person or people whose names are on the indictment they haven't been revealed are members of Hezbollah, the Shia Muslim group that is the most powerful military force in Lebanon as well as a political and social movement.

Hezbollah left the national unity government last week, causing its collapse. It wants Saad Hariri, now reduced to interim prime minister and also Rafik Hariri's son and political heir, to cut Lebanon's links with the tribunal. So far, he's refused to do that, causing another surge of talk about disorder and even civil war.

International human rights groups have called for the prosecution of the former Haitian leader Jean-Claude Duvalier, who returned to his homeland on Sunday after 25 years in exile. Mr Duvalier, also known as "Baby Doc", said he'd come back to help the people of Haiti following last year's devastating earthquake. James Read reports.

"Baby Doc" Duvalier's surprise return to Haiti has prompted an immediate and strong reaction. Human Rights Watch said he should face justice for the alleged killing and torture of thousands of people during his 15-year rule. Amnesty International said the Haitian authorities

had an obligation to

prosecute him for crimes against humanity. There's been no public response from Haiti's government which is grappling with a crisis over disputed presidential elections. Under Haiti's constitution, no citizen can be banned from the country.
