Syria feels heat as evidence in Lebanon PM's murder points to bomb under road

Guardian | Syria feels heat as evidence in Lebanon PM's murder points to bomb under road: "Kofi Annan will present the findings of United Nations investigators later this week, and they are likely to challenge the initial theory that Hariri was killed by a suicide car bomber.
The balance of evidence appears to point to the explosion being caused by a bomb under the road - a method that some analysts are suggesting points conclusively to Syrian involvement.
In Beirut, though, the pro-Syrian authorities prefer to focus on a possible Islamist connection, in particular a white van which was captured on the closed-circuit television cameras of a nearby bank.
Another camera, at the Phoenicia hotel, which might have had a better view of what happened, went out of service a couple of weeks before the blast and repairing it proved unusually difficult.
The Lebanese have been reluctant investigators from the start. The Syrian-backed president, Emile Lahoud, was eager to fill in the bomb site, re-asphalt the road and get the diverted traffic moving again as soon as possible. It was only when the interior ministry intervened that he had second thoughts.
The UN report may also give the first official indications whether the Lebanese tried to cover up what happened"
