Syria invites UN to discuss Hariri probes

Syrian Prosecutor-General Ghada Murad has invited the chief UN investigator into the assassination of Rafik Hariri for talks on co-ordinating his probe with Syria’s newly appointed investigation.

Murad, who heads the Syrian probe into the killing of the former Lebanese prime minister, has asked the United Nations’ Detlev Mehlis to come to Damascus “to search for the best means and mechanisms of co-operating between the two commissions,” SANA reported.
