Syria: Saniora "spiteful"; echoes Lebanon's enemies
Syria delivered a letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon on Thursday and launched an unprecedented attack on the head of the Lebanese unconstitutional government Fouad Saniora, describing him as a "spiteful being who reiterates the positions of Lebanon's enemies." The Syrian letter also lashed out at "some Lebanese senior officials who have been inciting the international organization to cooperate with the "leaders of some militias who have spilled Lebanese blood."
The letter pointed to the blatant foreign interference by "a major international force that has done nothing but widening the gap between the Lebanese." It said this pauses immediate danger to Lebanon's security and stability, as this "force" is taking sides with one party against another. "This is often accompanied with delusive propaganda campaigns to put the blame on some Lebanese sides as well as on Syria, every time they fail to impose their suspicious trends on Lebanon," the letter said.

The Syrian letter dismissed as absurd the circumstances stated in Saniora's letter over the release of Fatah al-Islam leader, Shaker el-Absy, from Syrian jails. "These accusations are not worth a response. It is well known that Syrian security forces has on many occasions clashed with members of this organization and succeeded in killing a number of them, including the organization's number two (Mohammad Tayoura) near the Syria ? Iraq border, when the Nahr al-Bared clashes broke out.
"Spite has caused the Lebanese Prime Minister to accuse Syria, in his most recent letter to the UN, of supporting the terrorists of Fatah al-Islam in a desperate endeavor to cover up for some of those represented in his government, who evidently gave financial and moral support to Fatah al-Islam terrorists.
