Justice
Minister Charles Rizk reiterated Friday that the four generals had been
arrested in line with a recommendation from the international
investigation commission that remains valid.

Rizk,
talking to reporters after meeting U.S. Assistant Secretary of State
for Near Eastern Affairs David Welch, said the ongoing crisis stems
from blocking the nation's constitutional institutions and authorities.

The judiciary, however, has survived such attempts "thanks to international backing," Rizk added.

He
said his discussion with Welch included the possibility of appointing
head of the international investigation committee as prosecutor general
of the international tribunal.
