BEIRUT - Lebanese security forces raided the offices of a mobile phone operator in Beirut on Tuesday in connection with a UN probe into the killing of Lebanese former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, security sources said. The forces were accompanying investigators who copied data from the telephone records of MTC Touch and questioned three of its employees, the sources said on customary condition of anonymity. They did not elaborate. Reuters pictures showed Lebanese security forces taking several people away from the building in a security bus. It was not immediately clear why they were taken away. | Hummmm, for questioning, perhaps? |
United Nations investigators were not involved in the raid but Detlev Mehlis, who is leading the international probe, was informed about the move and believed it would benefit his inquiries, a UN official in Beirut said.
MTC Touch , a network run by Kuwait-based Mobile Telecommunications Co, was not immediately available for comment. Lebanon’s Telecommunications Ministry declined to comment. | I'd say they're having a very close look at cell phone records. |
