Questioning of Syrians in Hariri probe begins
05/12/2005 - 12:29:26UN investigators have begun questioning five Syrian officials in the Austrian capital in connection with the assassination of former Lebanese Premier Rafik Hariri, a diplomat said today.
The interviews are expected to last until Wednesday.

Syria has denied any role in the killing.
