"Made in Syria"

'Bite the hand ....!'

"... Also in Akkar is Future Movement coordinator Hussein al-Masri, formerly a very active member of the Baath’s student wing. As for former Future MP, Mustafa Hachem, it is said that he sat in General Mufleh’s office the longest and drank his coffee the most. Until a few weeks ago, Mufleh himself was commending Hachem’s “political line,” praising his writing skills, and recommending his investigative expertise to journalists.

But Syria’s main “creation” in Akkar is none other than MP Khaled al-Daher. All that he knows, he learned from the Syrian intelligence that ruled Lebanon.

Well into the 2000s, Nayla Moawad never hesitated to invite Syrian generals to the commemorations of President Moawad’s assassination. Frangieh can recall more than 20 cases where Moawad gave information about him to the Syrian authorities, while she cannot remember even one case where he did the same to her...." (Continue, Here)
