Haaretz exclusive: Organizer of Gaza flotilla sought assistance from Assad's office
In part two of the Haaretz expose of emails leaked from the account of the Syrian president's media adviser, former British MP George Galloway turns to Assad's aides with request to depart from Syrian port of Latakia.
By Barak Ravid

The organizer of one of the flotillas to the Gaza Strip sought assistance from the office of Syrian President Bashar Assad, requesting it facilitates their departure from the Syrian port at Latakia. Ths request came to light through the disclosure of emailed correspondence between former British MP George Galloway, who heads an organization called Viva Palestina, and Bouthaina Shaaban, who serves as media adviser to Assad. The correspondence, which was obtained by Haaretz, was leaked following an attack by the hacker group Anonymous. Galloway, who is identified with the extreme left in Britain, served as a member of the British parliament until May 2010. A former member of the Labour Party, he was thrown out in 2003 in the wake of his attacks against party chairman and then-prime minister Tony Blair, and his opposition to the war in Iraq.

I'm sure Assad helped as much as he could on this evil deed. I would expect Iran and others to have helped, too.
