Syrian intelligence moves to Palestinian camps in the Bekaa Valley Syria's intelligence units have relocated to Palestinian refugee camps and military bases, which remain off limits to Lebanese authorities. Lebanese parliamentarians said Syrian intelligence units have moved agents and equipment into buildings in several Palestinian refugee camps and military bases. The parliamentarians said the bases were controlled by the Syrian-sponsored Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC) in the Bekaa Valley. Western diplomatic sources have confirmed the parliamentarians' report. They said Syrian military officers began to transfer Syrian units from their headquarters in Beirut to Palestinian bases as soon as heavy pressure began for a withdrawal from Lebanon. The United Nations has sent a team to verify Syria's withdrawal. So far, the parliamentarians said, Syrian intelligence officers have established a presence in at least two Palestinian insurgency bases. They were identified as Haret Al Naameh and Qusaya, bases controlled by the PFLP-GC. Al-Naameh is located about 10 kilometers south of Beirut. Qusaya is in the eastern Bekaa Valley. "We would like for you to explain the presence of military bases that are equipped with heavy weapons," Lebanese opposition parliamentarian Nematalla Abu Nasr said. "Does the liberation of Jerusalem go through Al Naameh and Qusaya?" In 1982, the PFLP-GC established bases in Lebanon used largely for training and storage of Katyusha rockets, rocket-propelled grenades and light weapons. Neither Lebanese police nor army units have been permitted to enter the bases. Opposition parliamentarians want the UN staffers to inspect the PFLP-GC bases. The PFLP-GC is the only Palestinian group that is allowed a military presence outside the 12 Palestinian refugee camps. The PFLP-GC was founded and has been led by Ahmed Jibril, a Syrian military officer. ------------------------ Yahoo!
