President Bashar Assad told CNN in an interview earlier Wednesday - before Kenaan's death was announced - that if the U.N. murder probe had any material proof of Syrian involvement, those involved would be charged with treason and could be handed over to an international court.

A UN international court? What was this later minister afraid of? a slap on the wrist?

Syria's interior minister, who ran Lebanon for many years and was one of several top officials caught up in the U.N. probe of the slaying of that nation's former prime minister, died Wednesday. The country's official news agency said he committed suicide in his office.

Shot himself in the head.

Five times.

My guess would be that his suicide provides cover for higher-ups that sanctioned or directed the operation. Now it conveniently ends with him.

[dead]

PAULIE: You're not gonna believe this. He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. Guy was an interior decorator.
CHRISTOPHER: (amazed) His house looked like sh|t.

Here's the Al Bawaba report:

Might have done it because it was revealed a day or two ago he allegedly was bribed $10 mil. by Hariri when he reigned over Lebanon. And maybe Bashar Assad didn't his cut...

...And maybe Bashar Assad didn't get his cut...

'E's not dead. 'E's just pining for the fjords!

"It is not known for sure if he committed suicide, or was made to commit suicide,"

To put it in PCSpeak "The alleged perp suicided the alleged suicidee".

[Billthedrill]

Somebody knew too much. But hey, enough about Vince Foster...

[ClearCase_guy]

This guy has been killing himself all day long. This is about the fifth time he's done it.

I'm beginning to think it's no accident.

[sam_paine]

Why would he commit suicide? Had ever even BEEN to Arkansas?

[American Quilter]

Maybe he was competing in the International Twit of the Year contest.

[Ciexyz]

Yikes!

[counterpunch]

Was his body discovered in Al-Marcy Park?

"...........Syria: Interior minister commits suicide..........."

So did Vince Foster. [/sarcasm]

Here's a couple of fun quotes: "It is not known for sure if he committed suicide, or was made to commit suicide..."

"Syrian regime might sacrifice some of its heads for saving the regime."

I'm guessing he committed suicide by cutting his own head off. Allah Hackbar!

[Congressman Billybob]

Did the gentleman leave a suicide note that hasn't been found yet? Why wasn't his body moved to Fort Marcy Park? Where was Hillary! Clinton's Chief of Staff when this gentleman's office was searched (presuming that it WAS searched)?
