President George Bush yesterday threatened Syria with increasing
isolation alleging that Damascus was "trying to prevent democracies
from emerging" in both Iraq and Lebanon.
Mr Bush, speaking at a press conference with the Iraqi president, Jalal
Talabani, said he would raise punitive measures against Syria with US
allies at the United Nations in New York, where he is due to address
the general assembly today.
His remarks echoed more specific allegations made by Zalmay Khalilzad,
the US ambassador to Iraq, in a New York Times interview yesterday. Mr
Khalilzad claimed that young al-Qaida volunteers from Saudi Arabia,
Yemen and North Africa were still allowed to fly into Damascus and
attend training camps before crossing into Iraq. He also said that the
official Syrian media "glorify the terrorists as resistance fighters".
