The American attack and Syria
Syria-USA, Politics, 9/17/2001

The Israeli expert in the Middle East affairs Eyal Zeiter said on Sunday that the US has not defined yet whether it will launch an attack at Afghanistan to attack Osama Bin Laden as a decided goal or to attack world terrorism which means " attacking Iran and Iraq," and pressuring Syria.

In an interview with the Israeli radio on Sunday, Zeiter said the US state department issues every year a report on international terrorism including a list in the name of countries hosting terrorism and this list includes Syria, Iraq and Iran, adding that if this list will be adopted as a base for the American operation, that means Syria might be exposed to the American pressures while Iran and Iraq will be a target for the expected attacks.

On the other hand the Israeli daily Maareve said on Sunday that countries which will join the US in its war against terrorism are Britain, Germany, France, India, Turkey, Japan, Mexico, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Argentine, Pakistan and Turkmenistan and countries hesitant to joining or not are Russia, China, Morocco, Algeria, Syria, while the opposition countries are Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Libya and Sudan.
