BBC reports:
Syria's interior minister Ghazi Kanaan has committed suicide, the official news agency in Damascus says.
He was reportedly questioned by a UN investigator last month over the murder of ex-Lebanese PM Rafik Hariri.

The authorities are carrying out the "necessary investigation" into the incident, Sana reported.
The quotation marks are the BBC's. While it's difficult to tell what the cause of the suicide is (if it is indeed a suicide), it does seem a possibility that he has been somehow tied into the death of Rafik Hariri. The UN investigator's report is expected to implicate Syrian intelligence in the bombing.
