Syria on Friday rejected U.N. findings that linked Damascus to the
assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
"I think the report is far from professional and will not lead us to the
truth," Mehdi Dakhlallah, the Syrian information minister, said in an interview
on Al-Jazeera television from the Syrian capital.
He said the report, about which he had seen media reports but did not have an
official text, was "100 per cent politicized" and "contained false accusations."
The report of the U.N. probe, submitted to the U.N. Security Council late
Thursday, implicated top Syrian and Lebanese intelligence officials in the Feb.
14 assassination of Hariri in massive bombing in Beirut that also killed 20
others.
