NNA - 7/7/2011 United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) office head in Beirut, Colonel Richard Hauser, issued on Thursday a statement in which it said that the transportation of 97 computers by the United Nations International Independent Investigation Commission (UNIIIC) from Naqoura to Israel is a normal procedure adopted by the U.N.
Hauser also said that each computer's hard disk was removed, destroyed, and replaced with new one, affirming that the computers are still in their possession and that "such procedures are adopted when equipments are transferred from one U.N. mission to another."
"The operation was conducted with complete transparency and in conformity with followed procedures," he concluded.
It is noteworthy that Hauser's statement came in response to Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's disclosure of a UNTSO document stating that the computers belong to the UNIIIC and they were in fact moved to Israel.
According to Nasrallah, the document provided proof that 97 computers were transported by investigators through Naqoura to Israel and not through the airport or Beirut port, at a time when STL Prosecutor Daniel Bellemare was still the head of the committee probing Hariri's murder.
