By Alistair Lyon, Special Correspondent BEIRUT, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Syria is bent on destabilising Lebanon, whose security forces are not yet strong enough to prevent more possible assassination attempts, Lebanese acting Interior Minister Ahmad Fatfat said.

Fatfat told Reuters in an interview on Saturday that he had recently received a message from someone close to the Syrians, telling him and Prime Minister Fouad Siniora to "take care". The message had said the Syrians were "more angry than before February 14, 2005", the date of former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri's assassination, Fatfat said.

He did not spell out what had riled Damascus, but tensions have risen in recent weeks amid Syrian criticism of Siniora's government as unrepresentative and as serving Israel's interest. Syria denies any involvement in Hariri's killing or in a subsequent series of assassinations and attacks on Lebanese politicians and journalists hostile to Syria's role in Lebanon. Fatafat, a Sunni Muslim member of the anti-Syrian Future Movement led by Hariri's son Saad, said he was sure Syria still had informants in Lebanon, despite its troop pullout last year.
