U.S. Accuses Syria of Helping Insurgents

“WASHINGTON – The Bush administration accused Syria on Tuesday of helping insurgents in Iraq (news – web sites) by giving haven to elements of the deposed Saddam Hussein (news – web sites) regime.

“And it is a problem that we think Syria needs to act to stop,” State Department deputy spokesman Adam Ereli said Tuesday.

Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage is likely to discuss the U.S. complaint when he stops in Damascus on a trip that will take him also to Turkey and Jordan.

Details of Armitage’s travels were withheld, except that he would leave Washington later in the week, go to the three countries and return sometime next week.

Syria has shrugged off U.S. complaints, saying it was being made a scapegoat for U.S. failure to stop the uprising in Iraq.

Reports circulated in Damascus, meanwhile, that key support for the insurgents in Iraq was coming from a half brother of Saddam Hussein and Baath Party leaders in the Syrian capital.”

Bashar is playing a dangerous game.
