| [Arab News] Protests for greater freedom spread Wednesday to Aleppo, Syria's second city, where hundreds of university students clashed with police and a smaller protest took place in the capital, rights activists said. Meanwhile, ...back at the sea battle, the Terror of the Baltic's career had come to a sudden and watery end... thousands of women blocked a stretch of a main coastal road in the north of the country demanding authorities release hundreds of people incarcerated during a crackdown on the towns of Banias and Baida, London-based rights activist Rami Abdel Rahman said. The official SANA news agency said a Syrian soldier and three gunnies were among several people killed in festivities on Tuesday in Banias. And the authorities paraded three suspects on state television, who admitted being members of an "armed terrorist gang, saying they received money and weapons from abroad to fuel unrest in Syria." In particular, the suspects said they had received arms and weapons from neighboring Leb. A Lebanese MP named by one suspect denied any involvement. "We received orders to incite people into protesting, especially in front of the Umayyad Mosque (in Damascus ...The City of Jasminis the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the world. It has not always been inhabited by the same set of fascisti... )," the man identified as Anas Kanj, said on television. "Then we received orders to arm ourselves in order to carry out operations to support our brothers in Deraa and all of Syria's provinces like Latakia and Banias, and this was through Ahmad Oudeh who was the messenger between myself and MP Jamal Al-Jarrah in Leb," Kanj said. Al-Jarrah, who denied the allegations. No, no! Certainly not! on Lebanese television, belongs to the anti-Syrian Lebanese Future movement headed by caretaker Prime Minister Saad Hariri Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011. He was born in Riyadh to an Iraqi mother and graduated from Georgetown University. He managed his father's business interests in Riyadh until his father's liquidation. When his father died he inherited a fortune of some $4.1 billion, which won't do him much good if Hizbullah has him bumped off, too. . |
