Suleiman: Mustaqbal and Syria Backed the Army Against Fatah al-Islam
President Michel Suleiman said Mustaqbal Movement partisans had fully backed the army in its confrontation with Fatah al-Islam militants and Syria provided the regular force with fuel and ammunition.
The pan-Arab daily al-Hayat on Friday quoted Suleiman as saying Syria also used its influence with Palestinian factions loyal to Damascus to pacify them during the Nahr al-Bared army confrontation with Fatah al-Islam terrorists last year.
As to the alleged testimonies by Fatah al-Islam suspects aired by Syria”s state television recently, Suleiman said they would be handled by the judicial authorities.
