Rumsfeld says Syria aiding Iraqi regime



WASHINGTON (AFP) - Senior Iraqi leaders are fleeing to Syria, which is continuing to send military assistance into Iraq (news - web sites), US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld charged.





"I have accurately advised that they not provide military assistance to Iraq," said Rumsfeld. "They seem to have made a conscious decision to ignore that.

"Senior regime people are moving out of Iraq into Syria and Syria is continuing to send things into Iraq. We find it notably unhelpful," he said, noting that Syria had been providing Iraq forces with equipment including night vision goggles.

Rumsfeld said intelligence pointed to Syria having been "cooperative in facilitating the movement of people out of Iraq into Syria."

"In some cases, they stay there, finding safe keeping there. In other cases, they're moving from Syria to still other places. We've also seen people from Syria moving into Iraq, unhelpfully," he added.
