Syria Braces for Inquiry in Lebanon Murder Case
(New York Times) Hassan M. Fattah - In an increasingly tense atmosphere, security guards have become more prevalent on the streets of Damascus. Senior UN investigator Mehlis is initially expected to interrogate senior Syrian security officials who were based in Lebanon, including Maj. Gen. Rustom Ghazali, former head of Syrian military intelligence in Beirut, and several of his associates. But many Syrian officials fear that Mehlis may also interrogate much higher-level officials, such as the interior minister and others in Assad's inner circle. That, many say, could link the government directly to the assassination.
