(From Reuters: "Anti-Syrian Druze leader Walid Jumblatt said on Wednesday he expected more assassinations of ministers and members of parliament aimed at undermining the ruling majority. 'We have to expect, and this is my impression unfortunately, more assassinations of ministers and parliamentarians,' Jumblatt told a news conference. Lebanese Minister Pierre Gemayel, a member of the ruling bloc, was shot dead on Tuesday.")

The failure of the US, Europe and the UN Security Council to hold Syria accountable for its actions in Lebanon has evidently not gone unnoticed in Damascus. Syrian hands were all over the Hiriri assassination, and now this report from Reuters:

Syria played a part in the assassination of Lebanese Christian minister Pierre Gemayel, Lebanese parliamentary majority leader Saad al-Hariri told CNN on Tuesday.

"We believe the hand of Syria is all over the place," Hariri, son of assassinated former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri, said from Beirut shortly after Gemayel was shot dead near the city.
