Time to show some skill!
"A UN panel investigating the killing of ex-Lebanese PM Rafik Hariri wants to meet Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Foreign Minister Farouq Shara." BBC NewsLooks like it is starting to be tough on Bashar these days as it looks like the UN panel is not going to let go Khaddam's statements on Al- Arabeya TV so easily. I believe the echo of Khaddam's words (implicating a major role for al Assad in assassinating Rafik Hariri) will be repeating itself in the ears of all those involved in the killing of the ex-Lebanese Prime Minister for long time. I believe it is high time for Bashar to show some real political skills because they will be more effective and helpful than these heated speeches that vanish as soon as given.
Key UN findings about the political murder of Mr. Hariri:
- Assassins had considerable resources and capabilities.
- Evidence suggests both Syria and Lebanon were involved.
- Crime was prepared over several months.
- Hariri's movements and itineraries were monitored.
- Highly unlikely Syrian or Lebanese intelligence were not aware of assassination plot.
