Syria said on Saturday it might allow UN investigators to quiz Syrian officials and denied it had not co-operated fully with the probe into the killing of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri.
"If there is any demand coming from the commission we will discuss it with the commission and we might agree," Foreign Ministry official Riad al-Daoudi told a news conference when asked whether Syria would allow further questioning of officials.
"Everything that was in the report in relation with not co-operating had no basis in truth," Dauodi said, reiterating Syrian charges that the report had political motives. "We will cooperate but we'll see what are the boundaries of this co-operation and its elements," he said.
Daoudi read a Foreign Ministry statement denying Foreign Minister Farouk al-Shara and his deputy Walid al-Mualem had tried to mislead the investigation.
