| Lebanon terror summit didn't include al Qaeda leaders |
| 2002-05-22 |
| A widely publicized March meeting in Lebanon of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders did not include any senior al Qaeda representatives, U.S. officials said Tuesday. ABC News reported Monday that the meeting included al Qaeda leaders and was a summit to discuss cooperation on attacks against the United States. If any al Qaeda members were at the meeting, "which is unclear, then it would have been nobody who could decide anything," one official said. In fact, U.S. officials said, a major topic of the meeting was cooperation between Hamas and Hezbollah on terrorism against Israel. In other words, it was a routine coordination meeting between Hamas and Hezbollah, like happens in Beirut all the time. But to ABC's crew, it had never happened before and they forgot about the Jerusalem Project. Is that egg on their faces? |
