Karma Al-Khayyat of New TV reported on Fath-Al-Islam. She has it right. She said that the Syrian government is responsible for turning the other way, as Salafi fanatics were slipping into Lebanon. I have always believed that Syria will fight dirty if forced to withdraw from Lebanon. But I don't believe that Fath-Al-Islam is an organization that is under the control of the Syrian government: do you think that those fighters in Nahr-Al-Barid are fighting to death in order to keep Bashshar Al-Asad in power? How dumb is that? But Al-Khayyat also added that once in Lebanon, Fath-Al-Islam was sponsored by Hariri Inc and Saudi intelligence: until they got out of control.
