The suspects behind the 2005 murder of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri are dead, the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Rai reported on Saturday, quoting a security source from the West.
According to the unnamed source, Hariri’s alleged killers were wiped out to prevent investigators from gathering any clues to the crime and also to protect the people who planned the assassination.
The source said that some people who were accused by investigators of involvement in Hariri’s murder have vanished either by assassination or bombing, while other unknown suspects were eliminated in a calm manner.
The source declined to speculate on the party that carried out Hariri’s assassination, whether it was Syria, Hezbollah or the two together, or a Muslim fundamentalist group.
“What is certain, according to intelligence analysis, is that it was one group that carried out the crime because a crime of this magnitude cannot be carried out by two partners,” the paper quoted the source as saying.
