UN's Mehlis may interrogate Syria's top Spies in Switzerland


Friday, 19 August, 2005 @ 10:26 AM 

Beirut, Lebanon - U.N. chief investigator Detlev Mehlis has not given up on
interrogating Syria's Spy Masters, to find out exactly who gave the orders
to assassinate former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

Detlev Mehlis.jpgDetlev Mehlis plans to ask for a few weeks extension of his
mission in Beirut in a report he would submit to U.N. chief Kofi Annan Aug.
25, United Nations Beirut spokesman Nejib Friji says.

Mehlis left for Geneva on a 'private mission' on Tuesday. Media reports said
he might be arranging for interrogating Syria's former spy masters in
Lebanon on neutral Swiss grounds should the Assad regime remain adamant
against letting the UN prosecutor to go to Damascus for the questioning.

The Syrian intelligence officers Mehlis wants to interrogate reportedly are
Rustom Ghazaleh, Mohammed Makhlouf and Jameh Jameh. All are brigadier
generals and all were serving in Lebanon when Hariri was murdered Feb. 14 in
Beirut. 

Friji denied reports that Mehlis will go from Geneva to New York to submit
his preliminary report about his findings. "He will return straight to
Beirut from Geneva and will submit his procedural report, explaining that he
needs a few additional weeks to complete the investigation," he was quoted
as saying by al-Mustaqbal newspaper Thursday.

Syria has so far insisted that the Syrian sovereignty laws prohibit the
appearance of Syrian army officers before a foreign examining magistrate,
but obviously Detlev Mehlis isn't buying into that. The Syrians want the
interrogation to be done through correspondence, which some analysts thought
it was a silly joke.
