The report even quoted one of the sources as saying that lab tests showed that two of the gunmen who used the car in the assassination were killed later in clashes between the Lebanese army and Fatah al-Islam militants in northern Lebanon since May 20.
Bodies of the gunmen and samples taken from the car were under lab tests to determine identities of all the culprits who gunned down Gemayel, the source said.
He added that all details related to the investigation in Gemayel''s killing and the Fatah al-Islam link have been relayed to the UN committee investigating the 2005 killing of ex-Premier Rafik Hariri and related crimes.
Gemayel was killed by a gunshot on the head when his convoy was attacked on Nov. 21 of 2006 in Jdaideh, about 15 km northeast from Beirut.
The 34-year-old Gemayel was a Christian leader in Lebanon and son of former president Amin Gemayel. He was a supporter of the anti-Syrian parliament majority.
Lebanon has been rocked by a series of blasts, which started with the October 1, 2004 assassination attempt against Telecomm Minister Marwan Hamade. The most recent assassination was the killing of lawmaker Walid Eido on June 13, 2007.
