A U.S. source did not rule out Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
Al-Liwaa newspaper on Monday quoted the source as saying that “rising Iranian tension over the International Tribunal and remarks made by Iranian officials in this regard was due to fears that Iranian names could be implicated in Hariri’s assassination.”
It said the source did not rule out that indictments could touch Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who is better known as Hasan Mahdavi, Force Commander of Quds Brigade in Lebanon, and Gen. Qassem Soleimani, in charge of the Lebanon-based Quds Brigade in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.
This Brigade, which Hizbullah is affiliated with, is in charge of the Revolutionary Guards’ activity outside Iran, al-Liwaa added.
