UN Investigators Say Syria Interfered in Hariri Probe
(Washington Post) Colum Lynch - Syria has interfered with a UN probe into the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Hariri by burning intelligence archives and intimidating a key witness who had tied senior Syrian officials to the killing, according to testimony made public Monday by UN investigators. The investigators' second report said new interviews have provided further "probable cause" to conclude that senior Syrian and Lebanese officials plotted and carried out the assassination of Hariri and 22 others in a car bombing in Beirut.
