The OIOS investigation also addressed factors that influenced the lack of corroboration in the identification of perpetrators.

The Commission has obtained additional evidence of the manner in which these entities controlled Lebanese society through a number of Lebanese agencies, providing further corroboration for this assessment.

Although the interview of Mr. Ramadan provided some important corroboration for information UNIIIC already had in its possession regarding Mr. Abu Adass, that aspect of the investigation cannot be concluded without locating and interviewing Mr. Taha and before identifying, locating and interviewing Mohammed .

This is a continuing process in view of the fact that, over the steady evolution of an investigation of this complexity, new evidence, new leads and new witnesses come to light that necessitate careful corroboration and cross matching against the totality of the accumulation of evidence.
