FBI Finishes Hasan Crime Analysis as Charbel Says Team Will Take its Time before Issuing Report
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The FBI investigation team that arrived in Lebanon to assess the assassination of Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau chief Brigadier General Wissam al-Hasan completed its mission and left Beirut Monday, reported al-Joumhouria newspaper Tuesday
Interior Minister Marwan Charbel told the newspaper that the team “will take its times in analyzing the data that it gathered at the crime scene before making any announcement.”
The team left Lebanon Monday night after coordinating its tasks with the concerned judicial authorities.
Charbel refused to delve into the details of the FBI team's work, saying that it performed its duties “in the best conditions and based on a decision taken by the cabinet.”
Informed sources meanwhile told An Nahar daily Tuesday that ISF chief General Ashraf Rifi held talks with the head of the FBI team on Saturday when the group finished its mission at the Hasan's crime scene.
Hasan was killed on October 19 in a car bomb in Beirut's Ashrafiyeh district.
The sources said that the head of the team praised the professionalism of the ISF and its forensics lab.
The FBI team is expected to send a report on its findings on an unscheduled date.
It had arrived in Lebanon on Thursday where it examined the scene of Hasan's assassination, which killed the security chief and two other people.

A great thank you to the G-Men... I just hope that the Lebanese law enforcement agencies put the findings to good use, apprehend the terrorists and throw them in the same cell as their associates Michel "Judas" Samaha... Then take them out and riddle them with bullets...

I'd like to make a guess.
When the ISF team finishes it work, and issues its report, they will find that they are unable to point 100% to the guilty party.

how lightly do M8 supporters speak of a dead man with no respect whatsoever for his family, all that because they hated the guy.
it tells a lot on their way of thinking and they claim not to spread hatred? a big farce like M8 is all about...
as i have read FBI was here for technical reasons to lend their technological means... and the investigations are led by lebanese under the control of an M8 gvt... i guess M8 will then approve about the conclusions of the investigation, if syria is involved they ll say that no conclusive evidence points to the culprit. so don t be afraid, M8 will not be worried....

lol! so israel and the USA would help syria get rid of hariri? bashar said to him over his refusal to back lahoud " that he would rather break Lebanon over the heads of Hariri and Walid Jumblatt than see his word in Lebanon broken".
the investigation was led from teams from different countries, not one of them would say if UN was covering up?
aoun pointed syria too...hezb said they have evidence but never gave it to STL! if they really had hard evidence they would provide it to defend their friends, no? or too arrogant and superior to do so?
lots of coincidences no?

I like how you speak so nicely of Hariri here but we all know that hizbollaat supporters before his assassination called him every single type of name and accused him of being a traitor and of wasting the country's wealth...The evidence is all pointing towards hizbocrap and still he insists it's the US and Israel

Yes I have seen it actually both in the leaked report by the CBC and in the qarar elzanne...these are not called rumours habibi they're called cross-referenced evidence from some of the world's most professional investigators who work in a world class team....again, professionals, tough for a hizbocrap supporter to understand I suppose since hassoun told them not to believe it...

regardless what they find, no one will be held accountable. The government is powerless and has too many bosses beside the decorated president. It is all show and tell. Shame on any government that can not protect it's own people. All crooks (PM & parlement theives) had hyjacked the country for their own personal gains, while the true geniune innocent people end up paying the price with their lives.

ah eh sa7 sa7 la2 "circumstantial" that both their cell phones were in the same place at the same time ? In modern court of law such evidence is allowed in the court of law...tayeb where is your evidence that the evidence was tampered with? Do you have evidence that these agents tampered with the evidence? has your government verified any of this? Who is believing BS now? Keep listening to nasrocrap!

It is about time to change the old regime and let the new blood take over with open minded mentality, with no special group affiliation. Let the people live in Love and Peace among all relgins. Enough is enough.

Bashar will face beheading soon. Can't say Lebanon will be better or worse, but justice will be served in one way.
