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.

Assassination of Hariri — French intelligence reports Mossad was behind it.

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.

Alright anonymous, if thats the case, and if the French know who the ‘real’ culprits are, then why have they supported and furthered the purported Israeli/Amerinca agenda in Lebanon while opposing it everywhere else?

I personally don’t buy it. Sorry.

I did, however, come across a more interesting version of the story you’ve recounted.

This version was passed to me from an FPM friend of mine who said that:
French intelligence knew, that;
Israel’s Mossad knew, that;
Hariri was working with Khaddam and Kanaan to oust the Syrian regime;
So Mossad passed the plan on to the Syrians knowing that they would kill him (and Kanaan);
And the rest is history…

blacksmith,
i have to say, your version sounds a little more likely. wish you had the article or perhaps you can post a link to it. thx

buckeye

I assume Arizona State’s mascot is a devil…

You don’t have to apologize to me blacksmith, its not me who wrote this article, and I am sure you know that Wayne Madsen is not Lebanese. Hariri’s death is part of an international conspiracy, and it is a part of a bigger agenda; look around you, Chaos all over the region. Let’s be objective, it is all about controlling the region and its oil resources leading to world domination. Go to http://www.Youtube.com and do some research and you will be amazed with what you find there, it is really scary what’s going on behind the scenes, and I fear from what coming next.

P.S. I am not a fan of the Syrian Regime nor am I a fan of all the Other dictators in the Arab World (I hate all of them), I think that they all should burn in hell!

But dude, lets take a breath and stop blaming others for our mistakes. We Lebanese have a bad habit of doing so! Lets stop blaming others for once, and try blaming our own leaders and their Behviors that led us to where we are now. Those same leaders that we still have them in power are the sums of all our problems for decades; they keep on screwing us agin and agin, all of them do, and for some reason (personally, I think sectarian), we keep telling them more more more …………….

Lets hope they don’t drive us to another civil war, those bastards……

Ciao

Yeah, more concrete sources than “my friend said” would be good to have, but unfortunately thats all I’ve got on that one! :(

Anonymous, glad to hear you’re not a fan of totalitarian regimes or Lebanon’s leaders…I’m not a fan either!

Things in the Middle East are indeed quite f*cked up my dear anonymous, but I don’t quite get what you’re advocating. On the ground that is, what would you have changed?

Its always an international conspiracy Right ?
Its never out fault, or its never us !!!
in Israel all the big heads are being sued for their errors in the Lebanon/Israel war Why no one is being sued in Lebanon for the killing of a thousand civilian and the destruction of 300.000 home etc.
People we have to wake up. stop blaming others on whats happening in our small country and get over all this.
it seems that we are so retarded, so superficial, so egoistic that we can not see farther from our nose, and in such case lest get prepared for civil war V.2

yalla anna felil.

Sorry, but I gotta say it;

Anonymous, it is all BS. If there was ONE crime that the Mossad did not commit, it is the Hariri Assassination.

But still, you have a point; the Americans were involved. They told Bashar “not to kill Hariri”. And, in his contrarian/retarded mind, he did just the opposite, and assassinated him.

If you do not believe this, then surely Hama never happened.

Uhm, I wanted to congratulate Mustapha for his cartoon. This evening I had all sorts of Halloween kids knocking at my door and threatening me: “give me sweet, else you’ll get sour”. When I took a break and saw Mustapha’s site, I couldn’t stop laughing.

Mustapha, your the designer, so can you put
this idea in a better shape. I didn’t dare touching the Lebanese version, because I thought of you ;-).

Jeha: your comments are very much appreciated - as usual. I’ll stop by your blog when I’m back from Italy.

Sorry, wanted to say “you’re the designer” but was interrupted by Halloween kids. I nearly spoke English to them… How do you all manage the different languages? Am I getting old?

bloggingparis: Noone said its always an international conspiracy.

Although I agree with you that Lebanon’s problems really are derived from within and from elements within Lebanon seeking to engage foreign elements in the pursuit of their own goals.

Jeha: I think you’re right, I think the Americans, French, and Saudis all told the Syrians not to assassinate Hariri.
