[Iran Press TV] The US-backed UN court probing the liquidation of former Lebanese premier Rafiq Hariri has asked for images Israeli had taken from the scene of the crime. The Special Tribunal for Leb (STL)'s investigative committee requested from Tel Aviv surveillance images, captured on February 14, 2005, when a massive car booming in the Lebanese capital of Beirut killed the Former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri alongside more than 20 other people, Lebanese newspaper Al Akhbar reported. Quoting a former member of the committee, the newspaper said, the request had been made under prosecutor Detliv Mehlis -- who was replaced in 2006. Israeli reconnaissance aircraft violate the Lebanese airspace on an almost daily basis. The spy drones transmit pictures and footage to Tel Aviv. In an August speech, the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbullies's Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah presented evidence proving that Israel had criminal masterminded Hariri's liquidation.
The infamous However... Al Akhbar revealed last week that Israel's Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman had admitted to Tel Aviv's involvement in the tribunal.
