Bush Wants U.N. to Deal With Syria Report Oct 21 3:09 PM US/Eastern
SIMI VALLEY, Calif.
President Bush on Friday called on the United Nations to convene a session as soon as possible to deal with a U.N. investigative report implicating Syrian officials in the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
"The report strongly suggests that the politically motivated assassination could not have taken place without Syrian involvement," Bush said after helping dedicate a new pavilion at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Southern California.
The U.N. investigative report, which Bush called "deeply disturbing," established a link between high-ranking Syrian officials and their Lebanese allies in Hariri's murder Feb. 14 in Beirut.
The report, issued Thursday to members of the U.N. Security Council, did not implicate Syrian President Bashar Assad directly, but said his government did not cooperate with the inquiry.
Bush said he called Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice earlier in the day and instructed her to call upon the United Nations to convene a session "as quickly as possible to deal with this very serious matter."
Bush was not specific about what steps the international community should take to make sure Syria is held accountable. He said the United States has started talking with U.N. officials and with Arab governments about what steps to take.
"Today a serious report came out that requires the world to look at very carefully and respond accordingly," Bush said.
