UN closer to killers of former PM

UN investigators probing the killing of former Lebanese PM Rafik al-Hariri have identified some who may have been involved or known about it, their chief said yesterday.

New information about a van used to blow up Hariri and 22 others in Beirut in February last year, about cellphones used to track him and about his political activities had helped to pinpoint suspects, Belgian prosecutor Serge Brammertz said.
