Hariri probe reaches 'critical stage'
The UN probe into the assassination of a former Lebanese prime minister has reached “a critical stage”, the chief investigator reported today.
The investigation has determined that a single blast from a Mitsubishi van packed with high explosives was probably detonated by a man who spent his last months in Lebanon, he said.
Belgian prosecutor Serge Brammertz presented his fourth report to the UN Security Council.
He indicated that the International Independent Investigation Commission has information on suspects and witnesses which UN investigators and Lebanon’s prosecutor general agree should not be disclosed to avoid prejudicing a trial.
The report provided some new evidence and some tantalising clues about the ongoing investigation in Hariri’s murder.
