| Syria denies arming Hezbollah with Scud missiles |
| 2010-04-16 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] Syria denied U.S. charges it had supplied Hezbollah guerrillas with long-range Scud missiles and said on Thursday that Israel might be using the accusation as a pretext for a military strike against Syrian targets. "No, no! It wudn't us. Somebody else musta give 'em to 'em!" Israeli President Shimon Peres on Tuesday accused Syria of sending Hezbollah long-range Scuds. The United States said on Wednesday it was "increasingly concerned" about the transfer of more sophisticated weaponry to the Syrian and Iranian-backed Hezbollah, which fought a war with Israel in 2006. "Israel aims from this to raise tension further in the region and to create an atmosphere for probable Israeli aggression," the Syrian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. "The Syrian Arab Republic denies these fabrications." |

| #2 Last time SCUDS hit Israel the Israeli's left it to the US to take action. It very obviously won't go down that way the next time. |
