2005-09-19 |
![]() On Friday, the US State Departmentâs spokesman accused Syria of making trouble not only for Iraq, by allowing foreign fighters to infiltrate the country, but also for Lebanon and the Palestinians. âSyria, more and more, is being recognised as a destabilising element in the region,â Adam Ereli said. âItâs not just about Iraq; itâs about Iraq, itâs about Lebanon, itâs about the Palestinian Authority. Because thereâs a connection between Syria and terrorism and murder and mayhem in each of these three different areas.â The United States has imposed economic sanctions on Syria, long on the State Department list of state sponsor of terrorism. Syrian President Bashar Assadâs government insists it is doing what it can to keep foreigners from crossing its border into Iraq and has said in the past it was trying to control militant anti-Israeli Palestinian groups based in Damascus. |
