Israel intercepted order from Jihad leader in Damascus ordering the Tel Aviv suicide bombing
Buried in this article in the Independent:
Israeli intelligence officers briefed ambassadors of the
EU, the G8, and the UN
Security Council on Friday's Tel Aviv bombing. They read from a
transcript of an intercepted telephone call in which Ramadan Shallah,
Islamic Jihad's Damascus-based leader, ordered a West Bank commander to
go ahead with the bombing. Mark Regev, the foreign ministry spokesman,
said: "In a regime like the Syrian regime, such an order could not come
from Damascus unless the regime was acquiescing or collaborating."
And all this from a member of the United Nations Security council. Its a scandal.
