Syria's Interior Minister Commits Suicide

ABC News reports that the Interior Minister of Syria has committed suicide days before the UN is to release their findings on the murder of Mr. Hariri, the beloved politician in Lebanon.

The potential suspects, according to Arab media reports, include senior Syrian security officials, members of Assad's inner circle or even relatives. Some Assad family members hold powerful positions in the intelligence and security services.

Syria is reportedly planning a diplomatic offensive to discredit the report, which would include reaching out to China, India and Russia to help block a U.N. resolution and possible sanctions.

Update: There are two sites which have better information which I highly recommend. The first one is Counter Terrorism. The second one is Terrorism Unveiled. They are both very credible and well written. They are also sourced.
