German report: Assad’s brother-in-law attempted coup

Posted by Matt in June 7th, 2008

The report stated that Assaf Shawkat, Syrian military intelligence chief and Assad’s brother-in-law, planned to sieze control of the government while the president was hosting a meeting of the Arab League in Damascus in February. Shawkat was detained along with a hundred other Syrian intelligence officers.

According to Die Welt, Assad was informed of the turnover attempt by Hizbullah leader Imad Mugniyah, who was assassinated in Damascus days later. The intelligence sources postulated that the targeted killing of Mugniyah had been planned by Shawkat’s associates, as retaliation for the disclosure of the planned rebellion.

Syria National Anthem
Following the breakup of the Ottoman Empire during World War I, France administered Syria until its independence in 1946. The country lacked political stability, however, and experienced a series of military coups during its first decades. Syria united with Egypt in February 1958 to form the United Arab Republic. In September 1961, the two entities separated, and the Syrian Arab Republic was reestablished. In November 1970, Hafiz al-ASAD, a member of the Socialist Ba'th Party and the minority Alawite sect, seized power in a bloodless coup and brought political stability to the country. In the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, Syria lost the Golan Heights to Israel. During the 1990s, Syria and Israel held occasional peace talks over its return. Following the death of President al-ASAD, his son,...

Iran Syra and the US: Countdown Reports

Other times, the signposts are smaller, subtler increments... such as the third story on our Countdown tonight. CTV in Canada has obtained a list the Canadian government has given to its diplomats, instructing them how to deal with Canadian prisoners in countries that use torture... countries, the list says, that include Syria, Iran... and the United States of America.

CYPRUS
The Turkish Invasion In July 1974 the then ruling Junta of Greece organised a coup d' etat against President Makarios, who was following a policy of an independent and non-aligned Cyprus in which Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots would agree upon new constitutional arrangements. The coup presented Turkey with the pretext she had long sought. Alleging a right of unilateral military intervention as guarantor of the 1960 Constitution, Turkey 5 days later invaded Cyprus. In a Government communiquŽ of 20 July 1974, she declared: 'The purpose of our peaceful action is to eliminate the danger directed against the very existence of the Republic of Cyprus and the rights of all Cypriots as a whole and to restore the independence, territorial integrity and security and the order established by...
