"World Slams Lebanon Assassination"
Because they know this:
From the Wayne Madsen Report:
"October 24, 2006 -- A senior French DGSE -- Direction générale de la sécurité extérieure -- intelligence officer has told WMR that Lebanon's ex-Prime Minister Rafik Hariri was killed in a car bombing arranged by Israel's Mossad. The revelation from French intelligence is significant as the French government of Jacques Chirac joined the Bush administration and the neo-con policy establishments in Washington and Israel in blaming Syria for the attack. According to the DGSE officer, Israel and its American backers wanted to blame Syria for the assassination of the popular Lebanese leader in order to blame Syria for the attack thus forcing the popular Lebanese revolt that saw the withdrawal of Syrian forces. That left Lebanon defenseless for the "Clean Break" attack launched by Israel, with US support, against Hezbollah and Lebanon's infrastructure. WMR was one of the first to report Israeli and American involvement in the assassination of Hariri, as well as those of Elie Hobeika, George Hawi, and other Lebanese politicians.
October 25, 2006 -- A new book in Germany is casting light on Israel's covert program to provoke violence among Muslims in Western Europe and engage in "false flag" operations in order for Western governments to blame Muslim radicals. The book, Der Krieg im Dunkeln (War in the Dark) by Udo Ulfkotte, formerly a correspondent for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, provides details of the operations of two Israeli intelligence units -- the Metsada, which specializes in sabotage, including "false flag" terrorist attacks and assassinations; and LAP (Lohamah Psichlogit), which engages in psychological warfare.
Ulfkotte's previous book on Islamist extremism, titled The War In Our Cities, was withdrawn from the German market because of "massive legal pressures by Islamic plaintiffs." Ulfkotte claims that British and German intelligence agents encountered Metsada and LAP agents in France stirring up violence during the November 2005 riots, blamed on Islamic extremists. WMR has also reported that Interior Minister and presidential candidate Nicolas Sarkozy, who is supported by pro-Israeli factions in France, coordinated and continues to coordinate the paying of agents provocateurs to engage in violence in the predominantly Muslim Banlieus of Paris and other cities. The November 2005 riots spread from Paris to Rouen, Lille, Nice, Dijon, Strasbourg, Marseilles (where Mossad's Brach C, also responsible for Paris and London, maintains a large station), Bordeaux, Rennes, Pau, Orleans, Toulouse, Lyon, Roubaix, Avignon, Saint-Dizier, Drancy, Evreux, Nantes, Dunkirk, Montpellier, Valenciennes, Cannes, and Tourcoing. Ulfkotte also quotes a British MI-6 source who reported that Israel's goal is to portray Muslims as unpredictable threats who cannot be integrated into Western society.
Meanwhile, U.S. intelligence sources report a continuing Israeli intelligence effort to engage in false flag operations in the United States. In addition to Israeli nationals and dual U.S-Israeli nationals being caught casing tunnels, bridges, military bases, tall buildings, government agencies, private homes of U.S. law enforcement agents, airports, oil and chemical plants, and other prospective targets, Israeli nationals continue to be caught engaged in other terror "scare" tactics. There has also been an unprecedented infiltration by Mossad agents into sensitive and top-level positions in the Department of Defense, CIA, Homeland Security Department, FBI, and other agencies, all of which continue to officially recognize Israel as a "hostile intelligence" nation.
On Monday, Yechezkel Wells, a 21-year old dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, pleaded guilty to phoning in a false bomb threat on August 26 to Long Beach (California) Airport Emergency Services from a pay phone. Wells claimed that he made the call because he was late for his flight and hoped to delay his plane from taking off. Wells said that there was a bomb on the Jet Blue flight from Long Beach to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Jet Blue flight was delayed for one hour.
Not much is known about Wells. He claims he is a student but there is no information on what school he attends. Wells pleaded guilty to a single felony count of conveying false information of a threat targeting an airplane. Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 29, 2007 and Wells faces a maximum of five years in prison or probation. If the past is prologue, we can expect the Bush administration to agree to probation in return for Wells' deportation to Israel, where he, like hundreds of other Mossad, Metsada, and LAP agents caught engaged in false flag terrorist and psychological operations in the United States before, during, and after the 911 attacks, can continue to ply their trade in deception."
So, HOW is THAT for keeping the American people IGNORANT, huh?
Fucking American papers have DOGSHIT in them -- PROOF they are COMPLICIT AGENTS in this BULLSHIT "TERROR" WAR!!!
FUCKING COMPLICIT, SHIT-SUCKING, DIARRHEA-GARGLING SHIT-SPEWING SUCKSHITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"General's slaying leaves Lebanon shaken; Car bombing heightens instability Political crisis continues" by Anthony Shadid/Washington Post December 13, 2007
BEIRUT - A remote-controlled car bomb ripped through a busy street overlooking Beirut yesterday, killing a top general and his bodyguard.
The assassination of Brigadier General Francois Hajj was the first to target an army commander since Lebanon's crisis began last year and marked yet another line transgressed in a confrontation that has already paralyzed the Cabinet, parliament, and presidency. To many, the army stands as the last viable national institution, and the attack sent a chill through a country growing ever more discouraged with an enduring crisis between an American-backed government and an opposition led by Hezbollah, which draws support from Syria and Iran.
Nazih Rafael, as he swept up glass shattered from his storefront near the attack in the Beirut suburb of Baabda:
"The army is our last hope. If they can strike a blow at the army, then we are a people without hope. If they can hit the army, that's the last thing. That means they can knock on any door of any house in the country."
Asked about the culprit, Rafael shrugged his shoulders, a gesture conveying the anonymity of those behind the assassinations that have become part of the country's political calculus. Government supporters blamed Syria, as they have in other bombings that targeted eight prominent opponents of Syria the past two years. Syria denied any role, suggesting Israel or its allies had a hand in the attack.
Yup! CUI BONO?
Government opponents, led by the Shi'ite Muslim movement Hezbollah, denounced the attack, calling Hajj's death "a great national loss." One of their Christian allies, General Michel Aoun, said Hajj was his candidate to assume leadership of the army if parliament elects its present commander, General Michel Suleiman, as president.
CUI BONO, readers? Why would Syria do this?
And the fact that this is big play in the Zionist-controlled War Dailies doesn't help either!
In contrast to past assassinations, Hajj, 55, had no public political profile, a reflection in part of the army's largely successful attempt to stay neutral in the conflict. But the political orientation of the army remains a point of contention in the ongoing political confrontation, and historically, its upper echelons have been viewed as friendly, even cooperative, with Hezbollah, particularly in the 1990s.
And WHO WOULD want to fracture the Army then?
C'mon, reader, the ISRAELI SHITSTINK is enveloping the room!
Smell it, will ya?
Hajj was perhaps best known as the director of operations in the army's costly battle with an armed Islamic group that dragged on nearly four months this summer in the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp in northern Lebanon.
Those were terrorists AmeriKa sent in to Lebanon.
His candidacy as commander of the army was no less sensitive, given the profile of that position. If Suleiman moves up, he would be the third commander of the army to assume the presidency since Lebanon's independence in 1943.
The bomb, estimated at 75 pounds and hidden in a BMW, detonated after 7 a.m. as Hajj, his driver, and his bodyguard headed from his home. The blast shattered windows hundreds of yards away and sprayed charred pieces of vehicles across the street.
At the scene, there was a current of frustration tinged with anger at the country's stalemate. Heard more and more often is disenchantment with the country's political class, regardless of faction. This week, protests erupted in southern Beirut over power cuts that can last 12 hours or more.
George Khoury, as he stood near a line of yellow tape that cordoned off the bomb site:
"We've become like a people imprisoned. People have become cheap in Lebanon. The state is supposed to protect the people, but there's no state in Lebanon."
Yeah, except states don't protect people, they KILL THEM!
"Bomb Kills Lebanese General Who Battled Militants" by ROBERT F. WORTH and NADA BAKRI
BEIRUT, Lebanon — A powerful car bomb killed one of Lebanon’s top generals and his bodyguard in a suburb of Beirut on Wednesday, striking an unexpected blow at the country’s most widely respected institution and further undermining Lebanon’s precarious stability.
The army officer, Brig. Gen. François al-Hajj, was killed when a bomb under a parked blue BMW sedan exploded as he drove past on his way to work at the Defense Ministry.
General Hajj, 54, was a top contender to succeed Gen. Michel Suleiman, the army chief who is poised to become the country’s next president. He was also the operational commander during the three-month battle over the summer against Islamic militants holed up in a Palestinian refugee camp in northern Lebanon.
Whether it was intended as a political message or as revenge, the blast underscored the persistence of the bitter political confrontation that has crippled the government during the past year.
A solution seemed possible two weeks ago when the major political groups agreed to support General Suleiman as president. But since then political negotiations have foundered, with leaders disagreeing over procedure and the makeup of the next government.
And CUI BONO?
The killing reverberated far beyond Lebanon. Condemnations poured in from the United States, Iran, Syria, France and Germany.
Factions from across the Lebanese spectrum deplored the assassination, including Hezbollah, which called it a “great national loss.” The army has been viewed as the one neutral institution in a country whose leaders are deeply divided over ideology, foreign patrons and their share of power.
Which is WHY ISRAEL KILLED the general!
The explosion, which also wounded six people, took place about 7 a.m. in Baabda, an eastern suburb, on a mountainous road overlooking the city that the general regularly took to work.
Gee, Post and Times got the time correct on this Mossad bombing! Strange.
The blast, caused by what an army spokesman described as a 77-pound bomb that was placed under a car parked on the street, set other cars on fire and left a hole six feet wide in the ground. In its aftermath, scores of soldiers could be seen milling around the blackened ruins of a car. Some wept openly. Security men searched for body parts in the valley below the road.
ISRAEL!!!!
Tony Deeb, who works at a nearby supermarket:
“It was a scary scene. People started running and screaming. I saw a man walking with blood coming down his face, cars on fire, others were shattered and smoke filled the area.”
Some leading anti-Syrian politicians blamed Damascus for the killing, as they have for a series of political assassinations during the past three years. They pointed to comments made Tuesday by the Syrian vice president, Farouq Sharaa, who said that Syria’s friends in Lebanon were stronger than ever and that “no one in Lebanon, even with foreign support, can win the battle against Syria.”
Syria has denied any role in previous assassinations in Lebanon, and on Wednesday the Syrian foreign minister, Walid al-Moallem, denounced the “criminal attack” on General Hajj, saying, “We condemn any action that threatens Lebanon.”
None of the previous assassinations were aimed at the army, which has remained neutral during the past year’s political crisis. Some speculation focused on the possibility of revenge by Fatah al Islam, the jihadist group that lost a bitter fight against the army in the refugee camp. But one senior Lebanese Army official said the methods used in the bombing were too sophisticated for Fatah al Islam.
ISRAEL!!!!!
The official, on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with the news media:
“The way the bomb was placed rules out the possibility of a personal account. It requires infiltration, someone who is familiar with the area and knows what time the general leaves his house every day.”
Instead, the official said, the bombing could be related to behind-the-scenes negotiations between the parliamentary majority and the opposition — which is supported by Syria and Iran — over the successor of General Suleiman as top army commander.
Members of the American-backed parliamentary majority, known as the March 14 alliance, said General Hajj had been their preferred candidate for army chief — a broad hint that the assassination was aimed at them.
Times just keeps lying, because last week they reported that Hezbollah had agreed on the compromise candidate!
CUI BONO, readers?
But Michel Aoun, a Christian leader in the opposition alliance backed by Syria and Iran, disputed that, saying he too supported General Hajj, with whom he had been close since Mr. Aoun was himself the top army commander in the late 1980s.
Those recriminations seemed likely to lessen the chances of electing a new president, which have grown dimmer in recent days. Members of the majority accuse the opposition of deliberately obstructing the effort. They have begun talking again about the possibility of electing a president on a simple-majority basis, a move that would infuriate the opposition. Opposition members say they want a broader agreement about the cabinet before agreeing to make General Suleiman president.
Ibrahim Kanaan, a legislator with Mr. Aoun’s party:
“If you want to elect a president, you must protect him by providing a vision.”
To elect General Suleiman without making further agreements, Mr. Kanaan said, would be to replicate the situation under Mr. Lahoud, an ally of Syria who lacked the support of the parliamentary majority in his last years in office and was therefore largely powerless."
Notice how the story on the Israeli bombing of a Lebanese general turns into a story on Lebanon's presidential politics, readers?
Oh, that SHITRAG New York Times!
