A senior Lebanese cleric has accused CIA and Mossad of masterminding a bombing in the Syrian capital of Damascus that killed 17 people. Sheikh Ahmad Abdel Amir Kabalan, the deputy head of Lebanon's High Shia Council, also said that it was possible some Arab countries collaborated with the US and Israel in the plot. The bombing that took place in a southern suburb of Damascus on Saturday left at least 17 people dead and 14 others wounded. Kabalan said the terrorist attack was part of a bigger scheme to destabilize Syria and the entire Middle East region. He did not rule out the possibility that certain Arab countries which see the recent developments in the Middle East against their interests, had a hand in the blast. The bombing was the deadliest terror attack in Syria in nearly three decades. Just the tip of the iceberg my friends. I'm sure the media will write this guy off as a 'crazy terrorist'.

"We turned to the jet to try and see if there was anything we could do, but immediately, there was nothing anyone could do," William Owens told CNN affiliate WIS in Columbia, South Carolina. "I felt ill or sick to think that these lives were snuffed out at that point." The two men were in critical condition with extensive burns Saturday. The crash killed four other people on board, authorities said. The Learjet 60 carrying six people, including Barker and Goldstein, was taking off from the Columbia Metropolitan Airport in South Carolina on Friday night when it went off the runway.
