Syria, Politics, 7/6/2005

The wife of one of those who run away during the Syrian security forces operation against a terrorist group near Damascus Monday said the group members were changing their residence place every four days.

"They have been changing their residence place every four days and moving while carrying small machine guns and weapons hidden in a bag or under their clothes," wife of the run away member of the group, Mohammed Said al-Smadei, said in a statement to the Syrian TV.

She admitted that during their meetings they were planning to "stage terrorist actions and robbery as well recently, they were preparing to travel to Iraq." The woman confessed the group members attacked the Syrian security forces when they felt their presence on Qassioun mountain where they suddenly shot and surprised the killed security officer, Major Ahmed Hijazi, from the back.

Syrian security forces arrested Monday two members of a terror group after a short clash on Qassioun mountain overlooking Damascus. A Syrian officer was killed and four other security personnel injured according to an official source at the Information Ministry. The source noted that primary investigations indicated that some of the group members were working as bodyguards to Saddam Hussein of Iraq.
