According to media reports, Lebanese authorities are searching for 12 Australian men in conjunction with the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri. Lebanese Justice Minister Adnan Addoum said the suspects have Australian passports and that six of them took a flight to Australia shortly after the Feb. 14 explosion that killed al-Hariri and 16 others. Police found traces of explosives on the plane.The publication said "two Australians tried to leave Lebanon after the incident and missed their flights. Interpol agreed to interrogate the suspects."
