'Suspects identified' in Hariri assasination probe

A UN inquiry has identified people who may have been involved in the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri and is investigating new information about the buyers of a van used in the bombing, the chief investigator said.

While not identifying anyone by name, Belgian prosecutor Serge Brammertz said investigators had “significantly narrowed down” possible motives for the killing to Hariri’s political and personal relationships in Lebanon, Syria and other countries.
