Brammertz, inspected on Friday the crime scene where MP Walid Eido was killed. Brammertz's visit to the site was "a preliminary measure before taking future steps," a security report said on Friday.Brammertz, along with a number of investigators and experts, was accompanied by Military Prosecutor Jean Fahd and Military Investigative Magistrate Rashid Mezher. Brammertz also inspected the damage to nearby buildings and vehicles, the report said.

Ban then asked Brammertz to offer the Lebanese authorities the necessary assistance, a security source said "Brammertz and State Prosecutor Saeed Mirza are expected to announce soon the steps to be taken by the Lebanese judiciary and the international probe," said the source, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Brammertz called for "keeping a close watch" over the crime scene in Manara area until his team ended its inspection, the source added. Another security source said a Dutch team of explosives experts is expected to arrive in Beirut "soon" to inspect the crime scene. "The team already visited Lebanon following Hariri's assassination," said the source, also speaking on condition of anonymity.
