Hezbollah Blames Israel for 2005 Assassination of Al-Hariri
-----------------------------------------------------------



In Lebanon, the investigation into the 2005 killing of former Lebanese
prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri has taken a new turn. On Monday,
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah claimed Israel was behind the killing,
showing intercepted Israeli surveillance footage from an unmanned aerial
vehicle of Hariri’s travel routes. Israeli officials dismissed
Nasrallah’s claims. Many analysts have predicted the international
tribunal investigating the 2005 assassination will hold Hezbollah
culpable.
