THE HAGUE (Reuters) - A journalist who ignored a court order to take down internet videos that risked exposing the identities of witnesses in the case of Lebanese former prime minister Rafik al-Hariri's assassination was fined 10,000 euros (7,238 pounds) on Monday.

Karma al-Khayat was convicted 10 days ago of failing to obey a court order to remove from the internet video interviews that risked exposing witnesses in the case against the five suspects in the 2005 bomb blast that killed Hariri and 21 others.
