Pan Arab support for Syria against American accusations

Arab League's Secretary General Amr Moussa has criticized the American accusations of Syria, stressing that these accusations express the American double standard policy which ignores the Israeli arsenal that threatens security and stability in the region.

In a statement issued in Cairo today, Moussa pointed out that there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq as the US had claimed.

In another context, Moussa denounced US veto in the Security Council against a decision that calls on Israel to stop any action that threatens the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

He indicated that "the US veto expressed Washington's insistence to prevent the international community from expressing its attitude that rejects the Israeli aggressive policy against the Palestinian people."

Similarly, Chairman of Foreign Affairs Committee at Lebanese Parliament, Ali Khalil has condemned the American accusations of Syria.

Following his meeting with Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri in Beirut today, Khalil said that these accusations come in line with the American pressure on Syria, Lebanon, and all the Arab states.
