| U.N. to help Lebanon in probing Eid assassination |
| 2008-02-03 |
| The U.N. Security Council approved a request from the Lebanese government for help in investigating the assassination of security intelligence officer Maj. Wissam Eid. The pan-Arab Al Hayat newspaper said a letter from the Security Council president stressed the Council's determination to help to the Lebanese government find the truth. The UN investigation is already looking into 14 other apparently politically motivated attacks in Lebanon since the 2005 assassination of former Premier Rafik Hariri. Al Hayat said the Council's approval came in response to a request by Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Saniora's government asking for "technical help" in the investigation into the murder of Eid and his bodyguard which were killed in a massive car bombing on Jan. 25. LebanonÂ’s "Al-Nahar" newspaper found out from very high-level security sources that Captain Wissam Eid paid a heavy price of his achievements. In addition to finding out that Fatah al Islam was behind the Ain Alaq twin bus crime he also discovered the link between Fatah al Islam terrorists and SyriaÂ’s top intelligence chief, Major General Assef Shawkat, Shawkat is the brother -in -law of Syrian president Bashar al Assad Eid also had a major role in the investigation of the murder of former Prime minister Rafik Hariri and has been involved to a great extent with the UN investigation team. |
