The crime of February 14, 2005 didn’t happen as it was meant to be and is still under examination within the International Tribunal entitled to probe the assassination of Premier Rafic Hariri.
A senior investigator in the International Special Tribunal for Lebanon had, according to New Yorker magazine in Dexter Filkins reporting, convincing evidence that Bachar Assad’s government was involved in the killing and that Hezbollah pulled the trigger, but would not have done so without the blessing and logistical support from both Syria and Iran especially that Hariri was seeking to free Lebanon from Syria and Iran.
One of the mobile phones believed to have been used by Hariri’s killers had made at least a dozen calls to Iran before and after the assassination, according to the investigator. Furthermore, international investigators couldn’t persuade Western intelligence agencies to help them. As it turned out, the agencies knew quite a bit.
A western intelligence officer said according to the U.S. magazine that Iranian operatives were overheard talking minutes before the assassination. Then it was revealed that there were Iranians on the phones directing the attack.
