(Jerusalem Post) Janine Zacharia - U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage was asked Friday, in an interview with Egyptian TV, if Syria "should be held accountable" for the Beersheba bombings which killed 16 and wounded dozens. He replied: "Why not? Syria holds and houses Hamas. Syria is a conduit of weapons from Iran to Hizballah. It seems to me that Syria does bear some responsibility....President Assad should take a careful look at what his nation is doing and what his government is doing in supporting violence in the territories and decide whether this is in the long-term interest of Syria. I don't believe it is."
