    Did Israel assassinate a Syrian rocket scientist?

    Did Israel assassinate a Syrian rocket scientist?

    Israel has assassinated plenty of Iranian scientists. Looks like Mossad is targeting Syria now.

    Syria on Tuesday accused Israel of assassinating a top Syrian rocket scientist over the weekend, heightening the growing tensions between the two countries as Syrian government troops restore control over areas close to Israel.

    Aziz Asbar, a research director at Syria’s Scientific Studies and Research Center, was killed Saturday by an explosive device targeting his car in the town of Masyaf in Syria’s Hama province, according to the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency.


    The center has long been linked by intelligence agencies to Syria’s chemical weapons program, and Israeli warplanes are suspected to have targeted the facility on at least two occasions over the past year, in September and July.


    Syrian news reports blamed Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency for the killing and said Asbar had survived two previous assassination attempts, also by Israeli agents. According to the al-Watan Daily newspaper, he was killed because of his “important” work on Syrian defense systems.

    It fits their Motive of Operation :


    "On Feb. 12, 2008, Imad Mughniyah, Hezbollah’s international operations chief, walked on a quiet nighttime street in Damascus after dinner at a nearby restaurant. Not far away, a team of CIA spotters in the Syrian capital was tracking his movements. "

    "As Mughniyah approached a parked SUV, a bomb planted in a spare tire on the back of the vehicle exploded, sending a burst of shrapnel across a tight radius. He was killed instantly."


    "The device was triggered remotely from Tel Aviv by agents with Mossad, the Israeli foreign intelligence service, who were in communication with the operatives on the ground in Damascus. “The way it was set up, the U.S. could object and call it off, but it could not execute,” said a former U.S. intelligence official."

    I for one am sick of the entire Middle East including Israel. They play us like a fiddle to do their dirty work.

    It is the other way around.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Perhaps we thought they couldn't achieve the mission. We certainly believed it likely to cause a regional war.
