Syria: 'Important results' in Mugniyah murder probe
Ynet ^

Posted on 02/26/2008 11:50:55 PM PST by maquiladora

Syria has reached "important results" in its investigation of the assassination of Hizbullah commander Imad Mugniyah earlier this month, the London-based Arabic-language newspaper al-Quds al-Arabi reported Wednesday, quoting Syrian sources.

According to the report, the Syrian regime has decided to wait with the publication of the investigation results until after the Arab League meets in Damascus next week.

According to the sources, these results prove that an intelligence organization of an Arab country helped Israel assassinate Mugniyah and that Lebanese and Palestinian elements had also assisted in the killing.

Arab sources interpreted the remarks as a Syrian signaling to Arab states with which it has bad relations on the campaign it plans to launch against them.

Saudi King Abdullah and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, who met Monday, believe that Syrian President Bashar Assad is the one preventing the election of a new Lebanese president. Mubarak even claimed that "Assad is part of the problem."

For the time being, the Syrians are planning not to make any statements, at least until after the Arab summit next week. They are attempting not to deepen the intra-Arab crisis and wait for the leaders of Egypt and Saudi Arabia to attend the meeting, in which Damascus has invested large sums of money.

If these leaders fail to show up, it is assumable that Damascus will openly accuse at least one of them of cooperating with Israel in the Mugniyah assassination.

OPINION:

If Syria was really serious about their lessening tension; they would release the findings of their investigation.

At this point, Syria is just putting forth a media teaser.

Quick work. Say, guys, how are those investigations on the assassinations of dozens of Lebanese politicians coming?

Cindy you are a brilliant freeper.....don't fall for the talk of an investigation there was never one to begin with....Syria is going to accuse Jordan or the Saudis.....helping the Joooos.

What I find interesting is the silence from Iran and Syria since the hit.

That speaks volume's.

Any Syrian “investigation” will serve only to provide a base for Assad to make charges against whatever entity he desires to damage.

Smiling at you...

I never fall for propaganda — but some of it I document and
some I respond to.

“That speaks volume’s.”

Yes it does and I’m sure that in this case, silence is not golden.

Thanks Dog for the feedback.

We are making progress in the Middle East. Syria didn’t even bother to blame the Americans this time.

I don't think it would be wise for them to show up. Much better to be accused than take a walk in the Damascus equivalent of Fort Marcy Park.
