"Sources say Norwegian General Mood took his convoy to the city of Tartus last Friday, where no violence was reported.""The group visited no less than four military installations of the Syrian Army there without any sanction through the General's UNSMIS mandate."
His convoy also went to Rastan far from fighting. He and others "went straight to the Syrian Army's military installation, again without any apparent connection to (his) mandate."
Syrians say he's spying. His mission isn't about monitoring crisis conditions. Analysts recall how Iraq weapons inspectors were fraudulently used. More on that below.
Press TV reported the same story. Lebanon's al-Diyar newspaper said an unnamed Jordanian monitor accused General Mood and other UNSMIS members of "conduct(ing) acts of espionage against the Syrian government."
Military areas visited included Daraa, Homs, and Idlib. They're where Syria maintains "air and defensive air army" facilities.
Videos were made. Targeted sites included an al-Hareh aerial reconnaissance base and a military installation located between Nowi and al-Sheikh al-Meskin.
Spying on the pretext of monitoring is common US practice.
