Five high-ranking Syrian officers are to be named by UN investigator Detlev Mehlis in the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, including Bashar Assad's brother-in-law Asef Shawkat, currently head of Syrian military intelligence, and Gen. Roustom Ghazale, head of Syrian military intelligence in Lebanon, Germany's Stern magazine says. A senior Stern editor said $20 million was discovered in Ghazale's bank account.
