Syrian Source Says Regime In Bad Condition

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, front left, and Syrian President Bashar Assad, right, listen to their nations’ national anthems Thursday at the Ash-Shaeb presidential palace in Damascus, Syria.

From YNET News:

Damascus official tells London-based newspaper 'mystery man' assassinated over weekend was in charge of all of country's sensitive security issues; Israeli official denies Israel had anything to do with his death

An Israeli official told the UK's Sky News on Monday evening that Israel is not behind the assassination of top Syrian official Mohammed Suleiman, though this still doesn't mean the country is mourning his death. "To the best of my knowledge, we didn't do it," said the source.

A Syrian source said Monday that Suleiman the assassinated officer who was considered President Bashar Assad's right hand, was stronger than Syria's defense minister.

The source told the London-based Arabic-language newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat that "there is no doubt the Syrian regime in a bad and complicated condition."
