General Prosecutor Receives FBI Report on Hasan Assassination
General Prosecutor Judge Hatem Madi received on Thursday the FBI report on the assassination of Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau chief Brigadier General Wissam al-Hasan, various media outlets reported.
Hasan was killed in a massive car bomb in Beirut's Ashrafiyeh district on October 19.
An FBI team had gathered evidence at the scene of the bombing that killed Hasan along with two others.
Madi had explained in October that the team was tasked with providing Lebanese security agencies with technical assistance only in the probe into Hasan's assassination.
The team will not interfere in the investigations, he stressed.
The March 14-led opposition and Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblat widely blamed Syrian President Bashar Assad for Hasan's murder, as they did in 2005 when former premier Rafik Hariri was killed in a huge Beirut blast.
