WASHINGTON — US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has threatened to send the inquiry into the murder of Lebanon’s former prime minister back to the UN Security Council if Syrian “obstruction” continued.

In a strongly worded statement, Rice also voiced grave concerns about what she said was Syria’s “destabilising behaviour and sponsorship of terrorism” and said Damascus must stop interfering in the affairs of Lebanon. “Syria must cease obstructing the investigation into the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Hariri and instead cooperate fully and unconditionally as required by UN Security Council resolutions,” said Rice in a statement.
