Key figures have reportedly given their testimonies to the international commission investigating former Premier Rafik Hariri's assassination.

The daily Al Anwar, which carried the report on Thursday, said these personalities have demanded that their testimonies not be submitted to the Lebanese judiciary "so they and their families would not be in danger" in the event they were summoned as witnesses.

It said Lebanese judicial authorities have received new information and documents that were described as "important and valuable."

Al Anwar said the documents included testimonies of Lebanese and non-Lebanese witnesses.
