France Says Syria 'Likely' Involved in al-Hasan Assassination
[An Nahar] French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said Sunday that Syria was probably involved in the Ashrafiyeh car booming that killed Intelligence Bureau chief Maj. Gen. Wissam al-Hasan and at least three other people."It is likely... Everything indicates that this is an extension of the Syrian tragedy," Fabius told French television, accusing Syrian  Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad Scourge of Qusayr... of spreading his country's conflict beyond its borders. "I wish to express how much we condemn this dreadful attack, how much we are in solidarity with the Lebanese people and government," Fabius said. He called Assad a "manipulator" who wanted to spread the "contagion to Turkey, Jordan and Leb." The French foreign minister also accused Hizbullah of involvement in the Syrian conflict. "Hizbullah is in the Lebanese government and we don't see much of their role," he said. "But their presence in the conflict has been apparent in the past few days, such as the drone which overflew Israel." Posted by: Fred 2012-10-22 |
