The U.S. said "credible" Lebanese politicians contacted the U.S. Embassy in Awkar about the list, which allegedly includes Lebanese opposition leader Walid Jumblatt and other anti-Syrian politicians. Jumblatt denied having the evidence against Syria, but said: "I believe the entire opposition is being targeted."

Jumblatt accused the former Syrian military intelligence chief in Lebanon, General Rustom Ghazaleh, of meddling in the election through his agents.

In response, Syria accused Lebanese politicians of seeking electoral gain by making false accusations in coordination with countries that opposed Syria.

"Syria, which stands above the use of threats, assassinations and bombing, voices its disgust toward these uncivilized and immoral methods that some Lebanese use," stated Nizar Mayhoub of Syria's Information Ministry.

A Syrian foreign ministry official said "Syria again emphasizes its full keenness on the security of Lebanon and its stability which is part of the security and stability of Syria."

Allegations of the involvement of a rogue Syrian militia in the recent political assassinations have re-emerged. Some believe that the U.S. is intervening in order to establish more strategic positioning in the region. Regardless, Lebanon's opposition believes the killing will not stop. Jumblatt said: "The assassinations will continue with or without the knowledge of Syrian President Bashar Assad."

A U.S. official said the United States does not plan to give any protection to the Lebanese opposition, nor has it been asked to do so.
