Jump To Comment: 3 2 1Norway and Denmark have accused Syria of being behind the sacking of their embassies in Beirut on 4/2/06 and the simultanous attacks on their property in Damascus.
The rioters were fended off for a time by the Lebanese police who for the first time in recent history used both water cannon and tewar gas, but to no avail, the rioters prevailed and after buring the nordic crosses of both Scandinavian states hoisted green flags and then burnt the buildings. Observers were surprised to note the large number of adolescent males amongst the troublemakers. Neither Norway nor Denmark has accused Syria of being behind the attacks on their diplomatic property in Indonesia however, which occured earlier in the week and are thought by some to be a popular reaction in muslim states to the decision made by Right wing commercial newspapers in Germany, Hungary, France and Spain to republish these images :-
http://www.faithfreedom.org/Gallery/Mo_Cartoons.jpg
The images were orginally comissioned by the Danish best-selling daily commerial newspaper on the 30th of September, when for the most part their appearance and reaction to same was confined to usual diplomatic processes. It appears diplomacy between the muslim states and the kingdom of Denmark under its unpopular right wing government failed. In the abscence of proper instruments of arbitration or complaint, it is difficult to gauge further relations between both the EU (sympathetic to Denmark) and the Council of Europe (for Norway) and the states of Syria and Lebanon. The Parallel election of a hardline islamist party in the nearby "occupied Palestinian territories" in the meantime (since the first publication of the cartoons) has further distanced the Mediterranean muslim states from 4 key Western entitites- EU, CE, Nordic Council and NATO.
Condolence went to Israel today and then popped over to Beirut and will goto the Palestinian territories tomorrow to trouble shoot.
this is where Condolence was yesterday.

The 16th comment to Hariri's Game "Mr Lebanon" is dead" which started this thusfar 7 threads links to this article, a photomontage of the evidence immediately available after the assasination of rafic Hariri 14/2/05:

It is now "relevant again". Because the initial impressions from the UN sponsered investigation as reported / leaked today indicated that general Moustapha Hamdane of the then Lebanese presidential guard, allowed evidence to be intefered with (directly or indirectly).
Hamdane is one of more than a dozen military witnesses who have been or are about to be called to give evidence to the inquiry led by UN official Detlev Mehlis under the mandate of resolution 1595 adopted the 7th of April.
