U.N. Report Links Syrian, Lebanese Officials to Hariri Murder

By Judy Aita, Washington File

United States wants full truth, guilty parties brought to justice, State's Welch says

United Nations -- U.N. investigators have implicated both Lebanese and Syrian high-ranking officials in the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri.

"There is probably cause to believe that the decision to assassinate former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri could not have been taken without the approval of top-ranked Syrian security officials and could not have been further organized without the collusion of their counterparts in the Lebanese security services," the investigators said in a report given to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan October 20.

The report has been turned over to the Security Council, which will meet with German Prosecutor Detlev Mehlis, head of the investigation, and discuss the report on October 25.
