Syria sent 200 terrorists to assassinate 36 Lebanese leaders
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. Posted by: Fred 2006-12-01 |
