Prime Minister Fouad Saniora on Saturday assigned two officials to ask Syria inform Lebanon of its investigation in the assassination of Hizbullah's Imad Mughniyeh.
The state-run National News Agency (NNA) said Saniora instructed Prosecutor General saeed Mirza and chairman of the Higher Lebanese Syrian Council Nasri Khoury to approach the Syrian authorities with the aim of being "informed on the ongoing investigation in the assassination of Lebanese citizen Imad Mughniyeh, who is a member of Hizbullah command" who was killed in Damascus on Feb. 12. Saniora gave his instructions in telephone contacts with both officials. The premier also wanted "official notification of the circumstances of the assassination that had been carried out on Syrian territory and progress of the investigation so that Lebanese judicial authorities would be fully aware of this issue," the report added without further elaboration. |
