The Arab Center for the Studies of Arid Zones and Dry Lands in Syria called the claims of an IAF attack on September 6 "lies and fabrications," AFP reported on Sunday.
Center officials denied the reports and said that after seeing pictures of the center in newspapers, they realized that the alleged strike was supposedly carried out in one of their abandoned sites.
An official message by the center read: "We were astonished by reports of an Israeli strike on one of our centers. The reports about the center in the Zionist press are lies and fabrications."
The center also offered journalists from around the world a tour of the site.
Syrian Ambassador to the United Nations Bashar Ja'afari said that nothing in Syria had been bombed by the IAF, and nothing was damaged.

Fwiw, from what I could find, "Bob" now lives in the United Arab Emirates with his family.

Theyre also looking for the real killers of all those Lebanese politicians who keep blowing up.. Spontaneous Human Fulmination. It is an extreme form of Spontaneous Human Combustion, most prevalent in outspoken patriotic Jordanian politicians.

Well, if “nothing” happened, I think the Israelis ought to get a “do-over”.

It just might be that the reason for the drop was to let them - Syria, Iran et al, know that all their state of the art detection equipment they just bought from Russia - is worthless against the new clocking equipment the Israelis got from us.
They flew deep into the country and Syrian had not a clue. Not a blip.
So if Syria were, as has been reported, arming missiles with nuclear war-heads in preparation of ??? - and they and Iran, etc, were feeling super confident about their own omnipotence, militarily, they just got a Kadafi wake-up moment.

"So now they claim....the Israelis made it all up..LOL!" Well, they certainly don't want to go to war against Israel now!
Might as well forget that they've protested, diplomatically, to the UN and U.S.

They’d better watch their step or Isreal won’t bomb them again.
