Hariri son rejects Syria action

Saad Hariri was speaking after talks with French President Jacques Chirac
The son of slain former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri has said he opposes possible sanctions against Syria in connection with the killing.
Saad Hariri's comments come as the UN Security Council is considering a plan, drafted by France, the US and the UK, to threaten Damascus with sanctions.

Mr Hariri also said he favoured setting up an international tribunal to try his father's killers once they are found.

Rafik Hariri was killed on 14 February in a bomb blast in Beirut.

Syria has rejected a recent UN report that accuses it of plotting Hariri's death and blocking an investigation into it.

2. "BBC: Hariri son rejects action against Syria".

Another intentionally bogus headline:

"The son of slain former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri has said he opposes possible sanctions against Syria in connection with the killing.
