<\/p>\n

Evidence suggests the former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was assassinated by a "criminal network", an investigating UN team has said.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

No suspects were named, but the investigators said a "Hariri Network" had Mr Hariri under surveillance before the assassination. <\/p>\n

The ex-PM and 22 others died in a huge car bombing in Beirut in February 2005. <\/p>\n

Past UN inquiries suggested that Syrian and Lebanese intelligence forces had played a role – which Syria denied. <\/p>\n

The UN panel, headed by Canadian former prosecutor Daniel Bellemare, said in the 10th report on the case that it could now confirm that "on the basis of available evidence… a network of individuals acted in concert to carry out the assassination", said the news agency AFP. <\/p>\n

The commission suggests this network was responsible for other attacks against high-profile Lebanese figures, and at least part of the network continued to operate after Mr Hariri's killing. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
