Syria Feels Heat as Evidence in Lebanon PM's Murder Points to Bomb Under Road
(Guardian-UK) Brian Whitaker - Five weeks after the Valentine's Day explosion that killed former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri and 17 others, the balance of evidence appears to point to the explosion being caused by a bomb under the road, where workmen dug a hole a few days before - a method that some analysts are suggesting points conclusively to Syrian involvement. Whatever the actual method, making a bomb to kill Hariri needed careful planning and a lot of expertise. His Mercedes was heavily armored with a titanium/steel alloy and also had an electronic jamming system designed to frustrate a remote-controlled detonation.
