Report: Syria Planned To Kill 36 Lebanese Officials
November 29, 2006

"Al-Mustaqbal newspaper reports Lebanese security forces exposed network of 200 members which trained in refugee camps in Lebanon, planned to assassinate 36 senior Lebanese officials," Ynetnews.com reports.

The Lebanese security forces exposed a network which planned to assassinate 36 senior anti-Syrian Lebanese officials, the Lebanese newspaper al-Mustaqbal reported Wednesday morning ...

According to the report, the investigation revealed that the network trained in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon and planned to execute a plot initiated by the Syrian government to assassinate 36 senior Lebanese officials. According to the newspaper, the Syrian intelligence appointed a group belonging to the Fatah-Intifada organization to implement the plan.

According to the report, about four days ago two detainees admitted to having been sent from Damascus to the al-Badawi and El-Bureij refugee camps in order to coordinate the activity with the Fatah-Intifada movement. The detainees, a Syrian and a Saudi, noted that they were part of a 200-member network which planned to execute the plan. The two were arrested by Lebanese security forces after they were suspected of a criminally-motivated murder at the al-Badawi refugee camp.

This follows the murders of, among others, Prime Miniter Hariri and Pierre Gemayel. Both were most likely perpetrated by Syria.

Apparently the international outrage that followed those murders didn't scare Syria. It's clearly signalling its disregard for Lebanese sovereignty and freedom, and showing its intent to rule Lebanon again. Warnings from the leaders of the free world that followed the Gemayel and Hariri murders clearly hasn't shaken Assad. A stronger message is needed if we really want to protect Lebanon's freedom. And dealing with Syria is the solution to other problems in the Middle East.
