Amman calls on Damascus
to assist UN probe
AMMAN (AP) — Jordan called on Syria Monday to cooperate with the United Nations
in an investigation into the killing of Lebanon's former prime minister Rafiq
Hariri.
Jordan "believes in the importance of the
cooperation of all countries... until the truth [over Hariri's killing] is
revealed," Deputy Prime Minister and Government Spokesperson Marwan Muasher told
reporters.
Muasher said the Kingdom "hopes that the repercussions of the Mehlis Report
wouldn't culminate in a confrontation which will neither serve the region nor
its stability."
Chief UN investigator Detlev Mehlis released his report in late October,
implicating top Syrian and Lebanese security officials in the Beirut bombing
that killed Hariri and 20 others.
