Hariri Probe Focuses on Syrian
The United Nations investigation into the murder of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri of Lebanon is focusing on the powerful brother-in-law of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria as the main suspect, a diplomat with intimate knowledge of the inquiry said Thursday.
The diplomat spoke as a long-awaited United Nations report on the killing made public on Thursday said it was a carefully planned terrorist act organized by high-ranking Syrian and Lebanese intelligence officers.
Though the report did not include names, the diplomat said the investigators were focusing on Syria’s military intelligence chief, Asef Shawkat, the president’s brother-in-law.
