Wed, 19 Jul 2006 16:00:00 EST Syrian ambassador denies Syrian military aid to Hezbollah, says U.S. not talking to Damascus

In an interview Wednesday with U.S. News, Syria's ambassador to the United States, Imad Moustapha, rejected U.S. and Israeli assertions that Syria has been supplying part of the Hezbollah rocket force raining down on northern Israel. "We do not provide Hezbollah with arms," Moustapha insisted in a conversation at Syria's embassy in Washington. He also denied charges that Syria had provided Hezbollah with financial support or that Syria enjoyed decisive influence with Hezbollah, calling it "an independent, autonomous organization." Rather, he says, Syria is a political supporter of such "national liberation" movements as Hezbollah. Israeli officials say that some of the rockets, including one that smashed into a train facility in Haifa and killed several Israelis, were made in Syria.
