Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem said Thursday that Syria would find the murderer of Hezbollah commander Imad Moughniyah as soon as possible.
Muallem made the remarks after meeting with his visiting Iranian counterpart Manouchehr Mottaki, who came to Damascus following a trip to Lebanon where he attended the late commander's funeral.
Moughniyah was killed in a car bombing in a residential neighborhood in Damascus late Tuesday.
Muallem refused to comment on whether the Syrian authorities have arrested any suspects or whether there had been an infraction in Syria's tightly controlled security apparatus.
"The fighter Imad Moughniyah was the target of lots of intelligence agencies. He was a backbone of the Islamic resistance," he said, hinting on an Israeli involvement in the accident.
"Whoever wants peace does not commit terrorism, whoever wants peace does not lay siege to Gaza with a million and half Palestinians struggling for the minimum to survive," he said.
His killing would undermine "any effort to revive the peace process" in the Mideast, he added.
