UNITED NATIONS, June 11 (UPI) -- The head of the United Nations investigation into the killing of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri said it was probably a suicide attack.
International Criminal Court Deputy Prosecutor Serge Brammertz said his investigation into the February 2005 attack that killed Rafik Hariri is making headway.
Hariri and 22 other people were killed when an explosion rocked his convoy in downtown Beirut.
Many Lebanese leaders have blamed Syria for the attack, which was labeled as uncooperative by the original head of the investigation, The New York Times reported Sunday.
Brammertz said Syria has cooperated more, including allowing an interview with President Bashar al-Assad as well as turning over documents and agreeing to other key interviews.
At the time of the killing Hariri was an outspoken critic of Syria's 29-year military presence in Lebanon.
While the person or group behind the attack has not been identified, Brammertz said it most likely was a suicide car bombing.
He also called for a year-extension into the U.N. investigation and called on Syria to continue cooperating.
