Syrian Defector Tells Mehlis of Explosives from Slovakia to Kill Hariri
The Paris-based 'Intelligence Online' website, an intelligence affairs specialty, has said the investigation into Hariri's assassination made a breakthrough from information fed by a dissident Syria army officer to German prosecutor Detlev Mehlis in two meetings in Geneva.
The internet newsletter quoted diplomatic sources in Beirut as having said U.S. and Saudi Arabian intelligence services had managed to convince Syrian officer Col. Mohammed Safi, who directed the office of Syria's former intelligence chief Gen. Ali Khalil to defect.
Safi first went to Saudi Arabia, where its secret service interrogated him and then turned him over to the Americans. The dissident Syrian has revealed to Mehlis information about the kind of explosives used in the assassination, which were purchased from Slovakia, Intelligence Online said.(AFP-Naharnet)
