The Daily Star newspaper published on October 8, 2009, an article written by Chibli Mallat. The media office of General Jamil al-Sayyed asks that the following response be fully published on the same page as Mallat's article in accordance with media laws. First: we regret to have concluded from Mallat's article that he was insufficiently informed about the facts Sayyed had explained in previous press interviews and statements. Had his information been ample.
