| CIA, Mossad behind Damascus bombing |
| 2008-09-29 |
| A senior Lebanese cleric has accused CIA and Mossad of masterminding a bombing in the Syrian capital of Damascus that killed 17 people. Sheikh Ahmad Abdel Amir Kabalan, the deputy head of Lebanon's High Shia Council, also said that it was possible some Arab countries collaborated with the US and Israel in the plot. The bombing that took place in a southern suburb of Damascus on Saturday left at least 17 people dead and 14 others wounded. Kabalan said the terrorist attack was part of a bigger scheme to destabilize Syria and the entire Middle East region. He did not rule out the possibility that certain Arab countries which see the recent developments in the Middle East against their interests, had a hand in the blast. The bombing was the deadliest terror attack in Syria in nearly three decades. |

| #3 Maybe this delay in accusations is a sign of more tolerance in the ME? I would think the debris would still be in the air and they would be calling out the CIA on this one. I think Syria is getting their just due dancing with the AQ devil...and maybe those smoke signals that they want to hold talks with the US are a sign they are up to their swiss bank accounts in islamonutjobs. |
