France's foreign minister reportedly says it's likely Syrian President Bashar Assad's government had a hand in the assassination of Lebanon's intelligence chief in a Beirut bombing.

Laurent Fabius has told Europe-1 radio that while it wasn't fully clear who was behind the attack that killed Wissam Al-Hassan and seven others, it was 'probable' that Syria played a role in the blast.

Fabius also accused Assad of seeking to spread 'contagion' in the region in Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon.
