THE STRAIGHT STUFF ON LEBANON AND SYRIA
Jim Geraghty, Kerry Spot Original Article
Last night I spoke to a very smart guy who follows Lebanon-Syria issues closely about the Rafik Hariri assassination and various Middle Eastern issues. First, a couple of details about the bomb that killed him. It used something in the neighborhood of 650 pounds of TNT – not the kind of bomb that a bunch of amateurs can easily assemble in a basement. The crater was centered in the middle of the road, indicating the bomb was likely placed under the street and not in a parked car.
