Yo gang, it's about ~crime~, not mere destabilization. It's going to be hard for Condoleezza to nail Syria for dirty cops and a crime syndicate operation.
This is what I've seen coming across the wires.
"There is "convergent evidence" of both Lebanese and Syrian involvement in this terrorist act. The motive for the assassination is likely political. However, because the crime is not the work of a single individual but of a group with access to efficient means, it is very probable that fraud, corruption and money laundering were also among the justifications for certain persons to have participated in the operation. It is a well-known fact that Syrian military intelligence had an invasive presence in Lebanon at least until the evacuation of Syrian forces in compliance with Resolution 1559. The former high-ranking Lebanese officials in charge of security were appointed by [Syrian military intelligence]. Given the infiltation of Lebanese institutions by Syrian and Lebanese intelligence working in tandem, it would be difficult to imagine such a complex scenario could have transpired without their knowledge."
