Report Says IS Planned to Assassinate Macron, 'Saad Too'
The Islamic State had planned to assassinate French President Emmanuel Macron during a visit to Lebanon in September 2020, al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Monday.
The daily said it has learned that the IS group had also been planning to assassinate ex-Prime Minister Saad Hariri and Free Patriotic Movement chief Jebran Bassil.
The Lebanese investigations indicated that the IS militants were instructed to carry out a suicide bombing in a blast-hit Christian neighborhood or at the Beirut port, al-Akhbar said.
A coded message was found on a laptop belonging to the network's leader Mohammed al-Hajjar. The technical info showed that members of the IS group and an external handler had discussed the possibility of Hariri being with the French President at the targeted site. The handler answered: "Kill Saad too!"

al-Akhbar newspaper is as credible as when @mowateh claims he is not shia and has only 50 accounts on naharnet.

Frankly, the fortune teller what’s his name, Michel Hayek predicted the return and resurgence of Isis in France. So I’m half surprised. But Saad Hariri is a man from the past, he’s irrelevant in 2022, it’s like attacking a bronze statue of General Lee… although I admit I’m belittling them by putting them in the same basket as our failed politician.
NATO countries will re-activate the Daesh cells…. Its only a matter of time as they need to distract people whilst they legislate against the people incognito whilst CNN and the legacy media entertains the hypnotized mob.

They get out this ISIS bullshit out of the box each time the real ennemy Hezbollah needs some votes. Pathetic.
