Serge Brammertz, the head of the commission investigating the
assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, would
turn in his next report in next days, UN Spokesman Stephane
Dujarric said Friday.
Brammertz is expected to arrive in New York in the next couple
of days, and to hand in his report to the UN Secretary-General Kofi
Annan, Dujarric told reporters at the UN headquarters in New
York.
He added that Brammertz is also expected to brief the Security
Council Wednesday on the report, which, according to the spokesman,
was not yet completed.
However, the spokesman declined to specify whether the mandate
for the commission will be extended.
He just noted that the secretary-general is determined to
maintain cooperation with Lebanon on a number of fronts, including
this one.
Brammertz's last report, which was released in March, proved
progress of the investigation into the killing amid improved
cooperation from Syria.
