Hafidh Al-Asad and the fall of Qunaytrah

Muhammad Zughbi was Minister of Information in Syria in 1967.  He has been a fierce opponent of the Ba`th regime for years and decades.  He never forgave Hafidh Al-Asad for his shameful role in the 1967 war.  I have heard from him in private communication about the story of the suspicious role of Hafidh Al-Asad in the fall of Qunatyrah in 1967.  Here, he tells the story publicly for the first time.
