UN wants to question more Syrians in Hariri probe

http://www.swissinfo.org/sen/swissinfo.html?siteSect=143&sid=6305171&cKey=1134215440000

BEIRUT (Reuters) - A U.N. inquiry into the murder of Lebanese former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri will summon more Syrian witnesses in the next few days, its chief investigator Detlev Mehlis was quoted on Saturday as saying.

In an interview published in Lebanon's al-Mustaqbal newspaper, which was owned by the murdered ex-premier, Mehlis said he would ask Syria in the next few days if U.N. investigators could question new Syrian witnesses in Vienna, but did not identify them.

International investigators questioned five Syrian officials in the Austrian capital this week in connection with the February 14 truck bomb that killed Hariri and 22 other people in Beirut.

Neither Syria nor the United Nations has identified the five but diplomatic sources say they included senior Syrian security officials, including Lieutenant-General Rustom Ghazali, Syria's former intelligence chief in Lebanon, and his aide Jamae Jamae.


Here is a good place for them to start looking:

British soldiers arrested over alleged killing

http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1573681,00.html

Violence erupted in Basra this afternoon following the arrest of two British soldiers for allegedly killing one policeman and wounding another.

British troops fired on crowds throwing petrol bombs, burning furniture and tyres which set at least one tank on fire. Reuters witnesses said a British soldier was engulfed by flames as he scrambled out of the burning tank, being pelted with stones by the crowd. Two Iraqis were killed in the violence, an Interior Ministry official said. The fighting broke out after two British soldiers, allegedly dressed as Arabs, opened fire on a police patrol killing one officer and wounding another.

The Ministry of Defence confirmed that two military personnel were detained by Iraqi authorities today, but would not comment on rumours that the soldiers were working undercover.

One of the men sat with a bandage on his head after they were detained, a Reuters photographer said. His trousers were stained with blood spots.

1. The story about the British soldiers is fascinating.... just what is the
real agenda in Iraq, full out civil war amongst themselves to take the burden (and the legitimacy) of killing hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of them just to "get them out of the mix"? Perhaps make Iraq more pliable for corporate interests??
