"...the truck used in the deadly bombing of U.N. headquarters in Baghdad came from Syria..."

An apparently new Russian cement truck with engine and chassis numbers that are traceable. Should be interesting to find out who bought it last........FRegards =====

Yeah right:). Apparently I will not beleive Israeli envoy anymore. Especially after this:

"...
Syrian U.N. envoy Fayssal Mekdad promptly denied the charge as ''a big lie'' and Israeli Ambassador Dan Gillerman's own aides acknowledged the statement was based in part on an interview with a retired U.S. military analyst on Fox Television.
Gillerman startled some U.N. diplomats with his allegation, delivered outside the Security Council chamber, that Syria was ''the country from which most probably the truck that blew up the compound in Baghdad came.''
Asked if Syria was directly tied to Tuesday's attack, which killed at least 24 people and injured at least 100, Gillerman said there was insufficient evidence to suggest that.
''All I am saying is that intelligence reports and reports we've seen and heard also in the media indicate the truck that blew up the compound in Baghdad actually came from Damascus,'' he said.
Aides, speaking on condition of anonymity, later said Gillerman was not referring to Israeli intelligence reports but reports from other countries as well as media reports, including the Fox Television interview.
Nor did Gillerman mean to imply there was any evidence that the explosives used in the blast had been prepared or loaded on the truck in Syria, the aides said. ..."

Satatement was based on words of FOX TV media analyst. What is this? Provocation?

I understand that Israel hates Syria very much but I think so stinking methods of propaganda doesn't serve cause.

Well, Rus, I don't think Gillermans' words were in any way suggesting that Israel was behind the allegations that the truck probably came from Syria.

Basically, it's just 'connect-the-dots' as to where the truck came from. Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the other little players are terrified of Iraq becoming some form of Representative Democracy in their midst.

The battleground is Iraq. The homicidal-Islamaniacs will try their evil best in other Countries, including America, but the Yanks and Brits are already busy reforming Iraq, and we can't be stopped! Interesting times...........FRegards
