"The UN probe led by German prosecutor Detlev Mehlis named as suspects in the February 14 killing members in the inner circle of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, including his brother-in-law.
The report said Foreign Minister Farouq al-Shara gave investigators false information and accused top pro-Syrian Lebanese officials of a major role in the killing, with suspicion cast even on President Emile Lahoud.
Syria dismissed the charges as "far from the truth", while Lahoud denied them and indicated he would not be driven from office despite calls for him to resign.

"The USA & friends throughout the empire of the just and willing may be laying the ground for economic sanctions on Syria, whose decades-long domination of its small neighbour Lebanon was strongly opposed by Hariri.

A report submitted to the 15-nation Security Council on Thursday said there was probable cause to believe the decision to kill Hariri could not have been taken "without the approval of top-ranked Syrian security official(s)", nor carried out without the complicity of Lebanese security services."

Syrian Information Minister Mahdi Dakhl-Allah blasted it.
"The report is ... a political statement directed towards Syria," he told Al Jazeera TV.
"The report is far from the truth. It was not professional and will not arrive at the truth but will be part of a deception and great tension in this region."
