Another ((Operation Northwood’s)) unearthed from 1957 (Syria )

[Room101]

Documents show White House and No 10 conspired over oil-fuelled invasion plan.

Nearly 50 years before the war in Iraq, Britain and America sought a secretive "regime change" in another Arab country they accused of spreading terror and threatening the west's oil supplies, by planning the invasion of Syria and the assassination of leading figures.

Newly discovered documents show how in 1957 Harold Macmillan and President Dwight Eisenhower approved a CIA-MI6 plan to stage fake border incidents as an excuse for an invasion by Syria's pro-western neighbors, and then to "eliminate" the most influential triumvirate in Damascus.
