The United Nations Security Council has ordered an international investigation into the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri.

Mr Hariri was killed in a bomb attack in Beirut on 14 February.

The 15-nation council unanimously adopted a resolution establishing the outside inquiry after a UN fact-finding mission concluded that Lebanon's own probe into the killing was flawed.
