Bolton: UN Condemnation of Netanya booming stalls on Damascus origin
2005-12-06
United States Ambassador to the UN John Bolton announced Tuesday that Algeria prevented the release of a statement by the UN Security Council condemning Monday's suicide bombing in Netanya.
Bolton calls it as it is...Algeria squeals?
Algeria objected reportedly because the proposed condemnation mentioned that the instructions for the attack came from Damascus.
Seems a lot of communications hub from Damascus. Perhaps that needs to be silenced?
Earlier in the day, a senior Islamic Jihad figure in Gaza City denied that the organization had offices in Syria, claiming that their secretary general Ramadan Shalah left the country months ago. However, the Islamic Jihad, who took responsibility for the bombing openly admitted that it received its orders from Syria.

Responding to the Netanya bombing, US State Department deputy spokesman Adam Ereli told reporters: "The organization that claims responsibility for this attack is Palestinian Islamic Jihad and they have their headquarters in Damascus. So if anybody needed a reminder, this is it, that the Syrian government should take immediate steps to crackdown on this group and to inhibit its activities by shutting down Islamic Jihad offices and expelling its personnel."
State Dept? Said that? Wooooo
According to Algeria, innocent Palestinians were also frequently during the Intifada, and the UNSC should not focus on one side's casualties over the others'
no, it's fault, you stoopid f&^ks!
