Judicial developments
Prosecution Continues Presenting Evidence in the
Ayyash et al. Case
On 22 January, the Prosecution started tendering
evidence related to the 14 February 2005 attack.
In the course of the three weeks that followed, a
total of 15 witnesses testified in person before the
Trial Chamber. Seven of the witnesses appeared
in the courtroom located in Leidschendam in the
Netherlands, while the eight others testified via
video teleconference link. Four of the witnesses were
granted protective measures by the Trial Chamber
and were, thus, identified by pseudonyms, with
their images and voices distorted.
The majority of the Prosecution witnesses testified
about the loss of family members as a result of
the attack. Ms Robyn Fraser, who was previously
an investigator in the Office of the Prosecutor at
the STL, focused on the closed-circuit television
footage relevant to the movements of the
Mitsubishi Canter van, which was allegedly used
to conceal and detonate the attacks explosives. Mr
Khaled Osman Toubaili, now a retired civil servant
