Salt to taste.
DEBKAfile exclusive military sources report complete collapse of pro-Syrian political and intelligence structure in Lebanon and abrupt withdrawal of all Syrian commands including key figure military intelligence chief General Ghazaleh. Pro-Syrian Lebanese PM Karame backs out of forming new government in Beirut. Lebanese secret service chief Gen. Raymond Azar has fled to Paris. Internal Security Forces head Gen. Ali al-Hajj about to quit.
| Looks like Debka's got it at least partially right on this one. We've got the article on Azar, from Beirut Daily Star, and the Karami story from several sources. Al-Jizzles is leading with it. Haven't seen the one on al-Hajj, but I'll take their word for it. Ghazaleh, I don't know about, but it looks like the tipping point's coming. Lahoud's hanging tough, though... |
