The source explained that al-Qaida is "no more a solid-structure network. Many of its ranking members have joined several intelligence agencies and are used to infiltrate, control and direct local Qaida-inspired fanatics to carry out attacks that serve the interests of these intelligence agencies."With the help of the democratic Lebanese government, the beneficiary of the Cedar Revolution which tossed the Syrian Army out, we continue to unravel the terror network, capturing a couple of Al Qaeda big fish. And with the UN finally approving a tribunal to examine the murder of Lebanese leader Hariri, thankfully Syria's in the hot seat.
Fatah al-Islam, the source added, "is one of such local groups. Its members are inspired by al-Qaida ideology, but its attacks are directed by Syrian intelligence officers."
UPDATE: WaPo:
The U.N. resolution, which will take effect June 10, was approved 10 to 0 by the 15-nation council. China, Indonesia, Qatar, Russia and South Africa abstained from the vote, saying that it bypassed the Lebanese parliament's constitutional role in approving international agreements.
