A day following the attack in which former Lebanese premier Rafic al-Hariri was killed, a statement posted on the web Tuesday and attributed to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network denied any involvement in the incident. It said Lebanese, Syrian or Israeli intelligence were those behind the Beirut attack. 
The statement, signed by an unknown group calling itself the Al Qaeda Organization in the Levant, was posted on an Islamist website often used by al Qaeda, a day after another unknown Islamist group claimed it was behind the massive blast that killed Hariri and eight others. Several hours after the attack, Al Jazeera TV broadcast a video tape from the unknown Islamist group which said it had killed Hariri because of his Saudi ties.
"Blaming the Jihadist and Salafist groups for what happened in Beirut is a complete fabrication," the statement said, according to Reuters. "The priorities of the jihadist groups in the Levant are supporting our brethren in Iraq and Palestine, not blowing up cars."
"This is clearly an operation that was planned by a state intelligence agency ... and we blame either the Mossad, the Syrian regime or the Lebanese regime."

Who gained from Mr. Harriri's killing? Lebanon is on the verge of another bloody civil war and Syria has to leave because of killing, but Mossad gained by creating situations that are hurting both Lebanon and Syria. So it must be Mossad of Israel who carried out this and other bombing around the world. |

Mr. Nasser can you tell me who manipulated USA and UK going to Iraq ? Can you tell me who is behind all these bloody bombing and killing ? Who you think killed Ms. Margaret Hassan of Care International who always fought for Muslims ? Who is taken Palestinian land; killing their leaders, destroying their farms and families and keep them in refugee camps for the past 55 years ? Let's let not mention the name of Israel . |

The manipulation of entering Iraq originally stemmed from al-Queda, so you can go thank Osama and his boys. You can then thank Saddam Hussein who miscalculated again in regards to the US intentions and actions.
Both of those combined provided the opportunity for the US to intervene in Iraq.
Ms. Hassan's death came at the hands of one of the insurgent groups, which shows more the mindset of these organizations…the same ones who's cold blooded murder of Iraqi campaign workers in broad daylight on a Baghdad street several weeks back.

As for Palestinian “leaders” perhaps you should better read the resume's and mission statements of the members of HAMAS before bemoaning their fate.
Finally, you should check the Lebanese laws as to who kept the Palestinians in refugee camps for 55 years. And if you're talking about the West Bank and Gaza add Egypt and Jordan to the list. Israel only took charge of those areas after the 1967 war, 38 years ago.

Who says the Syrians are perfect? It's not like they've made strategic or tactical mistakes before.
Hariri was opposed to the Syrian presence in Lebanon, both the above board military presence, but the more clandestine intelligence/ diplomatic/economic arm-twisting.
Syria, like many Arab regimes has never been shy about using force against their political opponents. But, like what happened in the Ukraine last winter, it appears that this time, they miscalculated. |

from a jew is failing again. sharon openly sends terrorists around the world to commit mass murder (jewish belief) just like the passport fiasco here. See aipac or adl for the hate filled propaganda & foreigners causing trouble, especially false flag operations. This mossad mis-calculation terrorist attack has been exposed by the REAL free press. |
