"One crucial change, apparently made after the report was submitted to the UN chief, removed the name of President al-Assad?s brother, Maher, his brother-in-law, Assef al-Shawkat, and other high-ranking Syrian officials.
The final, edited version quoted a witness as saying that the plot to kill Mr Hariri was hatched by unnamed ?senior Lebanese and Syrian officials?. But the undoctored version named those officials as ?Maher al-Assad, Assef Shawkat, Hassan Khalil, Bahjat Suleyman and Jamal al-Sayyed?." (Times Online)
I'm sorry, but Kofi Annan and his office of Secretary General undermines his own investigative arm the UN Security Council has tasked to investigate the killing of Lebanon's Hariri. What a bloody shame.
You should spend the time to read full report itself; it's a thorough and damaging report on the role of Syria in the Lebanon's assasination that triggered the Cedar Revolution earlier this year.
