Even if it were a Mossad plot (something which is by no means clear), the Syrian government doesn't come out looking very good, since Syrian intelligence seems to have freely chosen to implicate itself in a rather stupidly bloodthirsty manner... AnonMoos (talk) 12:22, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In attempting to construct a credible defence for his client, Hindawi's legal counsel suggested an alternative interpretation of events during the trial, when he alleged that his client was not working for the Syrians after all, but was being manipulated by Israeli intelligence, which wished to damage and embarrass the Syrian government. The jury was unconvinced by this version of events,[2] and subsequent appeal judges have dismissed such interpretations as entirely lacking in evidence. There is a broad consensus in the intelligence community that such an interpretation is highly unlikely, at best.[citation needed]
Let's just stick to the facts until a good source can be found for this questionable statement.
