| UN panel asks to quiz Hezbollah on Hariri murder |
| 2010-03-26 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] An international team investigating the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri has requested to question six Hezbollah members about the crime, a security source said on Thursday. A suicide truck bomber killed Hariri and 22 others in Beirut in Feb. 2005. A U.N. investigation into the assassination first implicated Syrian and Lebanese officials but later held back from giving details of its findings. Last May German magazine Der Spiegel said that according to information it had obtained, investigators believed Hezbollah was behind Hariri's killing, allegations the Syrian- and Iranian-backed Shiite group roundly rejected. "They have asked to question six people from Hezbollah about the crime of the assassination of the martyr Rafik al-Hariri," the source, who asked not to be named, said. Hezbollah declined to comment, as did judicial officials in Beirut. Radhia Achouri, spokeswoman for the investigating Special Tribunal's prosecutor, also declined to comment. "As long as we are still at the investigation stage we will not be disclosing this sort of information, so no comment," she said in Amsterdam. |
