| Syria denies joint probe with Iran |
| 2008-02-17 |
| Syria has denied Iranian reports that the two countries will conduct a joint investigation into the assassination of top Hizbullah commander Imad Mughniyeh, who was killed by a car bomb in the Syrian capital on Tuesday night. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Reza Sheik Attar announced the joint probe on Friday, according to Iran's official news agency. But an unnamed Syrian official dismissed the report as "totally baseless" and said Damascus would conduct the investigation alone, Syria's state-run news agency reported late Friday. Hizbullah and its Iranian backers have accused Israel of killing Mughniyeh, and Hizbullah's leader Hassan Nasrallah vowed in a eulogy to the slain terrorist on Thursday that his group would retaliate against Israeli interests anywhere in the world. Israel has denied any role in the killing, and Syria has not said who it believes was behind the blast. Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki met with senior Syrian officials in Damascus on Thursday and Friday to discuss Mughniyeh's assassination. Attar said Friday that Iran and Syria agreed to the joint investigation during Mottaki's visit. |

| #4 Sorry Frank G, I've studied and researched for years, the Israeli 'Answering Machine'. It gives me great pleasure to see the 'leash' removed at times of extreme internal politics, from the necks of the Directors par se! Although I value your service to the country, and the pedestal we all put you on, Meir's is only slightly higher; he's my hero...now and in 1976! |

| #3 jeebus smn, could you say that name a few more hundred times? Yes, he's the head of the Mossad, but even Wiki knows that. Cripes, getting a little Obama-like in the gushing, huh? |
