Speaker of Syria's People's Assembly (parliament) Mahmoud al-Abrash on Monday sent letters to his counterparts of other Arab countries to seek support as Syria is facing international pressure over allegation of involvement in the killing of former Lebanese premier Rafik Hariri.

Abrash dismissed the UN report as "not credible, contradicting and having many legal and professional violations," according to the official SANA news agency.

Abrash also asserted Syria's keenness on the stability and security in the region and the world.

The UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution on Monday demanding Syria's full cooperation with the UN probe into Hariri's death, after the US, France and Britain dropped a specific reference to the threat of economic sanctions if Syria fails to comply.

The move came after chief UN investigator Detlev Mehlis released an interim report on Oct. 20, which found "converging evidence" of Syrian and Lebanese involvement in the killing of Hariri.

Syria has denied any role and dismissed the report as politically motivated and far from truth.

Hariri, known for his opposition to Syria's presence in Lebanon, was killed in a huge car bombing in Beirut on Feb.14, which triggered massive anti-Syrian protests in Lebanon and forced Syria to withdraw its troops and intelligence agents from Lebanon in late April, ending three decades of military presence there.
