WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States has identified the leading financiers
of the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The U.S. embassy in Damascus has identified relatives of Assad who have
become extremely rich through their connections to the president. In most of
the cases, the relationship went through Assad's mother, Anisa, and allowed
the ruling family to secretly invest hundreds of millions of dollars in
Europe.
