Syria Said to Send Arms Again to Lebanon Guerrillas
(New York Times) Syria has resumed weapons transfers to anti-Israel guerrillas based in Lebanon, including a covert shipment of weapons from Iran smuggled aboard a Syrian cargo plane that had delivered earthquake relief, American and Israeli officials say. The officials said a Syrian government plane that carried aid to Iran in late December had loaded up with small arms and possibly explosives intended for Hizballah and Hamas. American intelligence reports confirmed that a suspected terrorist training camp in Syria about 15 miles northwest of Damascus, bombed by Israeli warplanes in October, was being prepared for use by the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad.
