Syria sent 200 terrorists to assassinate 36 Lebanese leaders
2006-12-01
More on yesterday's story...
Syrian President Bashar Assad was reported on Wednesday to have sent about 200 terrorists to Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon to assassinate 36 Lebanese figures. The daily Al-Mustaqbal said Assad's "terrorist plot" was part of a propaganda prepared by the Syrian president and his Foreign Minister Walid Moallem. It said Assad authorized the terrorist group, which was part of Fatah-Intifadeh, the Syrian-backed faction which broke away from Yasser Arafat's mainstream Fatah group, to carry out the assassinations.

Al Mustaqbal said the Assad plot was revealed four days ago when two men, arrested on charges of killing two Palestinian activists in the Beddawi refugee camp in north Lebanon, acknowledged to the Lebanese Intelligence Service that they belonged to Fatah-Uprising, which is led by Abou Moussa. The arrested men said the Syrian intelligence has asked them to coordinate with the faction's second-in-command, Abou Khaled al-Emleh. It identified the men as Syrian Hussam Mohammed Siyam and Mohammed Saleh, a Saudi, adding that they hold legitimate Syrian passports issued by authorities in Damascus.

#4  Hezbollah is moving into a power vacuum. Pro West elements in Lebanon have absolutely no Western support. We praised the "Cedar Revolution," but our leaders refuse to do anything to protect Lebanon from foreign aggression. Syrian intervention would be like taking a hot knife through butter.

Ethiopia and Thailand also face national catastrophes if the West won't take sides.

If you don't want someone to deal with your front yard, you create a problem in their back yard.

#2  Bashar Assad is simply following the teachings and methods of Muhamhead. On numerous occasions Muhamhead would send out killers to do in his political enemies.

Nothing new under the sun.
