"Syria's interior minister Ghazi Kanaan has committed suicide, the official news agency in Damascus says.
For many years Kanaan was Syria's powerful intelligence chief in Lebanon, which was dominated by Syria until its military withdrawal earlier this year.
He returned to Damascus in 2002 to head the political intelligence agency and he joined the cabinet in 2004.
The United States froze his assets there in July saying he had aided terrorism in Lebanon."

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) - Syria's regime is quietly preparing for the possibility that a U.N. investigation will implicate it in a Lebanese leader's murder - consolidating its power, preparing a public relations counteroffensive and taking steps to guard against sanctions.

How strange, it didn´t look so bad the last time I´ve been thereI will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

well its clear that the Mehlis investigation is moving towards top figures in the Assad regime. The further campaign of assasination in Lebanon has not deterred Lebanese figures from supporting it. It will be interesting to see if any further senior figures will be named, and how they will be handled, and what that will do to the stability of the regime.
One wonders if he Kanaan was pressured to suicide (my assumption of what happened) because he had other folks to name? Or perhaps he had already named somebody he shouldnt have (he was already interviewed by Mehlis, IIUC)"A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.

If more senior parasites "resign", maybe it'll bring actual political change in Syria. Replacing old Assad by baby Assad was apparently not enough, there's a whole clique of Old Assad's clientele that still runs too much of the show."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

Look, how the times changed, now we just have to interview people and entire nations tremble in fear ....The UN investigator, German prosecutor Detlev Mehlis, questioned seven senior Syrian officials in Damascus during a visit at the end of September, Lebanese media reported.

They don't tremble in fear... They just shoot a scape goat or two then blame everything on the dead guys.

It's from an Ahnold movie where he hands a guy a revolver and tells him to resign (ie commit suicide) or be fired (ie be killed by Ahnold).Originally posted by SlowwHand
