What a joke.
These are journalists bought by Fares Khachan.
Just check the following. One guy on Josh Landis' blog pointed out that Spiegel article is strikingly similar, quasi plagiarized to a Figaro article from 3 years ago. He uses the very same sentences, but while reproducing the same claims from 3 years so, he says that the info has been "uncovered last month"
Check for yourself :
Der Spiegel 2009:
“The pace of the investigation stalled under Mehlis’s Belgian successor, Serge Brammertz. (…)
But now there are signs that the investigation has yielded new and explosive results. (…)
Tribunal chief Bellemare and his fellow judges apparently want to hold back this information, of which they been aware for about a month.” (!)
(my emphasis)
Le Figaro 2006:
“LES ENQUÊTEURS libanais, en charge de l’assassinat de Rafic Hariri, travaillent depuis quelques mois sur une nouvelle piste, qui conduit au Hezbollah. «L’enquête internationale dirigée par le juge Serge Brammertz s’oriente également dans cette direction», confirme, au Figaro, un proche de Saad Hariri (…).”
(my emphasis)
Der Spiegel 2009:
“Damascus’s view of the situation could be more mixed. Although the Syrian government is not being declared free of the suspicion of involvement, at least President Assad is no longer in the line of fire.”
Le Figaro 2006:
“Elle ne modifie pas l’orientation générale de l’enquête : la Syrie reste pointée du doigt. «Les Syriens ont cloisonné l’opération, en confiant à leurs différents alliés au Liban le soin de
préparer cet attentat, sans que l’un sache ce que l’autre avait à faire», estime un spécialiste des questions de sécurité.”
