August 18, 2010 - Now Lebanon - Former Israeli officer claims he has information on the Hariri assassination

Ad-Diyar newspaper reported on Wednesday that there is a new witness in the case of the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

According to the daily, the witness—who claims to be a former officer in the Israeli army and a Druze lawyer—requested political asylum in the Lebanese Embassy in Prague.

He expressed his willingness to relate his information of the Rafik Hariri killing, Ad-Diyar added.

The Lebanese embassy asked him to leave Prague immediately and apply for political asylum from Lebanon, the daily reported, adding that the embassy told him that it is not responsible for his actions.

“The embassy sent all its information on him to Lebanon,” Ad-Diyar also said.
