Mehlis and the German "experts"

Looking back through previous files on the Hariri bombing this news item from the Lebanese Naharnet of 9th June 2005 contains some interesting details.

A U.N. mission investigating ex-Premier Hariri’s assassination in Beirut may conclude that his motorcade was devastated Feb. 14 by a massive underground bomb rather than an above the ground terrorist bombing operation, Hariri’s Al Mustaqbal newspaper said on Tuesday.

“The mission of inquiry under Berlin Prosecutor Detlev Mehlis may possibly reverse to the underground bombing theory,” the newspaper quoted unidentified diplomatic sources as saying, noting that a previous U.N. fact-finding mission floated the over-ground bombing concept, but inconclusively.

Hariri’s family originally subscribed to the theory that the assassination resulted from a one-ton bomb planted in underground sewage tunnels and triggered off manually, which explained why the sophisticated security system of Hariri’s limousines did not detect the bomb.

Al Mustaqbal said Tuesday that a team of German explosives experts arrived in Beirut on Sunday. The experts are examining the scene of the crime to make a final decision on how the assassination was carried out, the paper added.

Hariri’s family has reportedly passed to Detlev evidence lifted from Bassel Fleihan’s body burns in a Paris hospital that established the kind of explosives used in the bombing, earlier local media reports said.

Beirut, Updated 09 Jun 05, 11:09

1. A team of German explosives experts were involved, such is the state of their expertise, it is impossible to believe that they would have much problem establishing the nature, and even the source of manufacture of any explosive used… God knows there was enough of it. But they could not identify it.

2. Samples were available from a victim of the explosives.WARNING GRAPHIC PIC of HARIRI after explosion here

3. That the underground bomb theory, which was current the following day throughout Beirut based upon the size of the massive crater, tarmac distribution and cars being found 200 metres away at 30ft above street level was being considered by Mehlis.

But now this team of explosive experts say it was a right hand drive, white van of unknown ownership, whose driver is unknown etc., etc.,

Social democracy now has excellent review of the report.
Which refers to William Bowles penetrating analysis “Syria Old whine, new bottle”

Meanwhile Jack Straw “detailed and convincing” , Condi et al have to give in to Russian pressure at the Security Council, producing a resolution which is both pointless and meaningless, but will no doubt be flogged around the TV studios on Sunday morning as good reason to bomb the shit out of Damascus.
