Michel Samaha: Provocative Media Responsible for Killing and Sabotage Acts in Syria

Via Sana Jun 05, 2011 BEIRUT, (SANA) - Former Lebanese Information Minister Michel Samaha said that provocative media channels are responsible for the killing and sabotage acts taking place in Syria, pointing out that some Arab channels have long started to report stirring statements with the aim of sowing sedition in Syria and a number of Arab countries. Samaha said in an interview with the Lebanese al-Jadeed TV Channel on Sunday that there are foreign circles which are working on instigating some outlaws to practice terrorist acts against the Syrian people, military and security forces. The Minister denounced the attempts of some foreign forces to divide the region's counties, particularly Syria which has always been steadfast against the U.S. and Israeli plots in the region. Samaha expressed his full confidence that Syria will overcome the conspiracy targeting its national and pan-Arab stances, rejecting all projects which aim at liquidating the Arab central cause of Palestine. He considered that Syria's unity, its people's strength and its national army's steadfastness enable it to foil the vicious attack and sedition attempts targeting it. Samaha hailed the Syrian leadership's keenness to provide all the requirements of the country through the reforms and decisions taken and the calls for national dialogue. R. Milhem / H.
