Source: Rifi’s Accusations against Syrian Embassy are Accurate
A Lebanese security source revealed that Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdul Karim Ali’s statements on the abduction of Syrian opposition members in Lebanon does not mean that he and his embassy may not be directly responsible for the kidnapping of the Jassem brothers and Shebli al-Aisamy.
The source told the Kuwaiti al-Anbaa newspaper in remarks published on Sunday that Internal Security Forces chief Ashraf Rifi’s statements on the matter “are accurate and they are based on damning facts and evidence.”
“The security apparatuses have handed the military judiciary a complete file on the issue,” it added.
Aisamy, 86, is a co-founder of Syria's ruling Baath party who fled his native country in 1966 over political differences. He was last seen in May in the eastern Lebanese region of Aley.
The Jassem brothers were kidnapped near the Baabda prison where one of them was accused of distributing pamphlets against the Syrian regime.
On Friday, Ali denied reports that his embassy was behind the disappearance of Syrian opposition members who have gone missing in Lebanon, calling such accusations "unfounded."
"I am puzzled by these unfounded claims that have been attributed to the police chief," Ali told reporters after meeting Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour.
"Such accusations affect coordination between the two countries as concerns security issues," he added.
He accused some Lebanese officials and MPs of seeking to undermine his country, where the regime of President Bashar Assad is in the throes of a brutal crackdown aimed at crushing an eight-month-long revolt.
Ali was referring to Rifi who said on Monday that the ISF collected "dangerous information" linking the Syrian Embassy to the disappearance of Shebli al- Aisamy.

As a Lebanese , am I suppose to believe an salafi wahhaby terrorist like ashraf Riffi , that is on the head of a salafi gang of murders , or a sincere pure Lebanese and elegant diplomat like minister Mansour ? My choice that is the choice of the majority of the Lebanese is clear . Ashraf Riffi has to be given a one way ticket to join his master , we dont need people like that in Lebanon .

During the period of 2005 and 2011 when Seniora and Hariri where PM's, more than 700 Syrian workers (mostly sunnis) were murdered or disappeared by M14 murderers, and no one was ever convicted. During the Lebanese civil war 4000 Syrian nationals were murdered and 800 were kidnapped and missing. The Syrian nationals came to Lebanon to work and 99% of them did not join any political party or militias. They were murdered by Lebanese who are now in M14 simply because they were Syrians.The new government in Lebanon should first investigate the murders of Syrians that have been going on for years.

Peace.. the Lebanese justice ministry has 700 Syrian workers names that were murdered since Saad hariri's murder, and no one was ever sent to jail for those murders. Also, there are 800 missing Syrian civilian workers in Lebanon during the Lebanese civil war (out of a total of 17,000). I never heard of the total 4000 Syrians killed, but I would not doubt the estimate. I think Elias is bothered by the crocodile tears the M14 Lebanese are expressing toward the Syrian people (even though it does not justify what pro-Syrians may have been doing in Lebanon against the Syrian opposition).
Just because it was never published in NAHARNET or any other M14 papers, it does not mean that it never happened. If you only read Naharnet, you are missing a lot of facts.

instead of whining john why don t you talk about the THOUSANDS of lebanese killed by your syrian friends?
why don t you remind the tortures in lebanon? the lebanese kidnap by lebanese militias and sent to syria ? why don t you talk about the villages detroyed in the north by the syrians? the humiliations suffered by lebanese?
do you know who killed them and why apart your rumors on M14 killing them?
who has provided evidence to accuse someone? you and your media?
also why don t you suspect the syrian regime also, as they are used to kill their opponents abroad... bring us facts not rumors.
syrians workers you pity them, not the lebanese killed by the assad regime...

Peace...I pity ALL civilians who were murdered. I pity the victims of massacres not only in Damour, but also in Tel Zaater, Black Saturday, Eintoura, Karantina, Sabra and Shatla, Ehden, on and on. Do you pity the victims of Israeli aggresion? Do you pity all I have mentioned?
What Elias was saying is that Syrian workers were not supporting murderous parties like your self.
As a Lebanese, am I supposed to believe this criminal who calls himself ambassador or the Head of the ISF of my country????? I will believe Ashraf Rifi anytime.....!
