'We'll sue US for giving arms to Israel'
Syrians will sue the United States for providing Israel with weaponry that was used to kill Syrian citizens during the Second Lebanon War, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Mouallem threatened Thursday, a day after the US administration announced a new set of sanctions on the Assad regime. "We will punish the United States," Mouallem said during a joint press conference with his Iranian counterpart Manouchehr Mottaki. "There are Syrians who were sacrificed during the Israeli was against Lebanon, and they will file a law suit against America, Which provided Israel with the weapons." He also said that investigations are under way into who was behind the car bomb that killed Hizbullah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh in Damascus, adding that he expected the perpetrators to be found soon. "Syrian security forces are continuing investigations into this terrorist crime and we hope you will hear results soon," he said. "We as a state will show with full proof the party involved in this crime and who stands behind them." Posted by: Fred 2008-02-15 |
