NATO AIRCRAFT ARE WARNING SYRIA
NATO aircraft have been flying over Syria’s borders in order to send a strong warning to Syrian President Bashar Al-Asad, according to the Kuwaiti A-Siyasah.
The over-flights are taking place above the borders with Turkey and Iraq, and include photographing the areas. The Syrian coastal region is also included in the flights.
“European diplomatic sources” said the flights are a warning to the Syrian regime indicating what can happen if President Al-Asad does not comply with international demands.
The United Nations recently approved Resolution 1636, which demands that Syria cooperate with the international commission investigating the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq Al-Hariri. The resolution’s warning of “further action” if Syria does not comply is interpreted by many to mean possible military action.
Senior Syrian officials were implicated in the commission’s report.
The sources also said Al-Asad is inciting Shi’ite factions in Lebanon, such as Hizbullah and Amal, against the Lebanese government. Syria withdrew its forces from Lebanon earlier this year, ending a 29-year presence in the neighboring country.
The sources said France and the United States are considering sending arms and provisions to the Lebanese army in case of a violent resistance against the government.
