Syria rejects non-cooperation charges
 A Syrian Foreign Ministry official has denied that Damascus failed to cooperate in the UN investigation of the murder of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri. "Everything that was mentioned with regard to Syria's non-cooperation is baseless, and I was sorry to read that" in the report, said Foreign Ministry Adviser Riyad Dawoodi on Saturday.
Repeating initial Syrian denials, Dawoodi said the findings of the UN investigation into al-Hariri's 14 February assassination were politicised and targetted Syria rather than finding the truth. "We cooperated, but this cooperation was misunderstood. I hope that (misunderstanding) was not intentional," Dawoodi said.
