I like news that makes me go, "WHAT!?" I know so little about Syria and it's leaders, that I don't know whether to believe this or not. Is this an unfounded accusation?

The President of Syria, Bashar Assad, has accused Israel of assassinating former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

Reuters quoted the Syrian president as making the claim during a gathering of Arab lawyers on Saturday.

"Of the many assassinations that Israel carried out in a methodical and organized way, the most dangerous thing that Israel did was the assassination of President Yasser Arafat," Assad said.
