A crowd chased away a team of UN officials who gathering evidence in the death of a former Lebanese prime minister on Wednesday, scuffling with the investigators and shouting abuse before snatching a briefcase, police said.

 

Nobody was hurt in Wednesday's melee, which underscored the charged emotions behind the international tribunal looking into Rafik Hariri's 2005 assassination. The Hague-based court said they are taking the incident seriously.(AP)
