US, France, Britain Submit UN Resolution on Syria

HeadlineOct 26, 2005

The United States, France and Britain submitted a resolution at the UN Security Council yesterday that demands Syria arrest top officials suspected of involvement in the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri. A UN report released last week accused top Syrian and Lebanese officials of involvement in Hariri’s death, which killed 20 others in a February truck bombing in Beirut. Syria has rejected the report’s findings. The draft resolution also asks that Syria allow witnesses and suspects to be interviewed outside the country, and threatens “further measures”, including sanctions, for non-compliance.
