U.S. Sanctions to Target Syrian Oil
(Jerusalem Post) Janine Zacharia - The Bush administration is expected to prohibit American energy companies from future investments in Syria, but allow some already existing projects to continue, as part of fresh U.S. sanctions to be unveiled in the coming days, sources in Washington said Tuesday. The sources said the administration has decided to implement sanctions in phases over the coming year. "This will be only the beginning," one source said. "They are going to roll out a few and see if Assad gets the message." On Tuesday, senior administration officials met to discuss implementation of the sanctions.
