CBC News Report on the Hariri Assassination

Canada's CBC News published a report on the Hariri Assassination, clearly accusing Hezbollah of executing the murderous operation.

CBC based much of its evidence on the investigation run by ISF Captain Wissam Eid who was able to identify the cell phones utilized by the hit squad, and traced them back directly to Hezbollah. Furthermore, Eid was able to connect the phones to a Hezbollah underground operational HQ, located under the "Rassoul al A'zam" (or Great Prophet) hospital.

The report also underlines the weak and timid approach taken by the UN in its investigation, and concludes that the Shiite militia and its operatives will most likely get away with murder.

As an aside, it is interesting to see the callous nature of the fundamentalist militia which continues to use civilian infrastructure as a shield for its operations.

Below are the links to the 2-part report:
