Wicky Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Coincidence or what... Syria's interior minister Ghazi Kanaan has committed suicide, the official news agency in Damascus says. For many years Kanaan was Syria's powerful intelligence chief in Lebanon, which was dominated by Syria until its military withdrawal earlier this year. He returned to Damascus in 2002 to head the political intelligence agency and he joined the cabinet in 2004. The United States froze his assets there in July saying he had aided terrorism in Lebanon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnergoz Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 One can see the scenario unfolding; the minister being told by representatives of the president, "here's the gun, your family will be looked after, the president expects you to do your duty and make the trail stop right here with you..." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scheer Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I think it was more in the way, that the minister was shot, to cover some higher up´s. That german investigator seems to do a thorough job .... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC News: Last Updated: Wednesday, 12 October 2005, 14:35 GMT 15:35 UK Syrian minister 'commits suicide' Kanaan (left) was Syria's top official in Lebanon for years Syria's Interior Minister Ghazi Kanaan has committed suicide, the official news agency in Damascus says. He was reportedly questioned by a UN investigator last month over the murder of ex-Lebanese PM Rafik Hariri. For many years Kanaan was Syria's powerful intelligence chief in Lebanon, which was dominated by Syria until its military withdrawal earlier this year. Hours before his death, he said he had served Lebanon with honesty, adding that this interview may be his last. Last message? "Interior Minister Brig Gen Ghazi Kanaan committed suicide in his office before noon," the Syrian Arab News Agency (Sana) reported. The authorities are carrying out the "necessary investigation" into the incident, Sana said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zalgiris 1410 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Yeah it's definately true tom, fair dinkum and I think that in his last interview two hours before committed suicide he denighed any responsibility or involvement in the assasignation of the Lebanese Prime Minister earlier this year! :eek: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Well, it wasn't us. I swear it. The fallout from the Lebanon debacle is something we're following closely. Expect it to be a major part of the backstory in some form or antoher. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
