Syria Denies Sacking of Ambassador to Lebanon
Syria's Ministry of Information on Monday denied the sacking of the country's ambassador to Lebanon and said a previous email announcement was a result of hacking, state television reported.
"The email account of the ministry was hacked in order to publish inaccurate information" about the reported dismissal of the Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdul Karim Ali, the ministry said in a statement carried by state television.
The ministry said it "denounces this piracy" and confirmed that "Ambassador Ali is still in his post in Lebanon, and the announcement of his dismissal is baseless."
Syrian official news agency SANA also said on Monday that its Facebook page had been hacked.
"As part of an aggressive campaign against our national media, hostile parties have hacked the SANA Facebook page," the agency said, adding that it had no links with the contents of the page, which it was working to deactivate.
In late August, SANA said a fake email was sent on its behalf announcing the dismissal of Vice President Faruq al-Shara.

Karim Walid and Samir killed people years ago and have since repented. Bashar and Ali-whatever-Ali are doing their best to kill lebanese today.

All these posts here show the hatred that is deep rooted in every lebanese that lived in lebanon or is brain washed by whatever media they read. When is everyone going to realize that as long as individuals like you exist ,that are lebanese,you are all doing what you are condemning. Enough hatred and lets look at what is best for Lebanon. Unfortuantely politics is a dirty game and while I agree all of the current politicians have blood on their hands ,non of you are proposing anything solutions other than cursing and spewing hatred. Two wrongs dont make a right. I am shocked that any post would allow this kind of language to be posted. Regardles of your religion,you are basically doing exactly what any religion tells you not to. There is nothing that can justify this kind of behaviour.

I am proud to be Lebanese but thank god I didnt live thur this. Most of you probably werent even born and even if you were during the civil war,there is no excuse for this hatred. I am sure we can do better if we stop thinking along the religious lines and think of lebanese first. I am not sure otherwise how we can move the needle with individuals like yourselves that know nothing other than putting down everyone else as if you are any better.

Why don't they sack this dirtbag? Because he brings bags full of $$$ to Aoun and Nasrallah.

Don't worry benzona, Sheikh Assir is going to send his people to steal those bags of money so that he can donate it to the poor. He is a modern day Robin Hood, soon the Syrians will be paying Sheikh Assir protection monies.
That would have been the best move Bashar made in 10 years. But they would just send in another thug.
