Investigators probing Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea’s assassination attempt have found new leads after residents of the town of Maarab informed them that several suspicious people had try to rent an apartment in the area last summer.

A security source told al-Mustaqbal daily published Tuesday the suspicious people, who hail from Maarab, sought to rent a house at the end of last summer but the suspects escaped when the residents informed security officials at Geagea’s residence about them.

They never returned to Maarab after they found out that the security team would question them and ask for their IDs, the source said.

“Such information has its implications and gives you something that you could build on,” the source added.

Meanwhile, Internal Security Forces chief Maj. Gen. Ashraf Rifi held talks with top officers at the Intelligence Branch over the weekend.

“What happened in Maarab is a serious attempt” to kill Geagea, al-Akhbar daily quoted Rifi as telling them.

The issue “should be dealt with on this basis,” he said.

i want to ask u a simple logic question , how come a sniper who is fully trained went to kill geagea with only 2 bullets !!!
geagea said that the flower saved him and that is a LAME excuse because why the sniper did not opened fire on him again and again and again .....
Donot tell me he was afraid !

far distance shot, and a shia behind the rifle with no education on degrees and wind factors. That is your answer

Yea it seems kinda weird that two snipers would both miss, especialy after working so hard for the shot. Maybe it was just a warning, idk, but it's hard to believe that bending down to pick up a flower made them miss, twice.

All those that hate Geagea are traitors because he represents the true Lebanese independence. The war is over and what happened in the civil war is the past. No one politician from that era is an angel, not Burri, not Franjeih, not Nasrallah no one. To redicule the attempt on this man's life is a shame to all Lebanese who believe that people who can't be defeated politically can be assasinated. Remeber before there were there Iranian who the Army was questioning for surveillance of Maraab, remember who is accussed of past policitcal assination in Lebanon (Hizballah). This is not an attempt just on Geogea, but on the free voice of Lebanon. Shame on all those Lebanese who carry a Lebanese citizens who think it is okay to elimiate your political opponents by assasination.

It seems that they are Al Qaida amateurs. These killers attack anyone who is not a Sunni fanatic. They need to be caught.

You accused su that we value our sect's life rather than all of the Lebanese lives and that is not true .. i want to ask u one question, when our brave men fall dead on the southern borders defending lebanon from israel , are they only defending our sect or the whole lebanese people including you ? knowing that in 2006 war we all know which areas were bombed and i dare you to name me a single 14 march area that was bombed ! We were brave and threatened israel that if she bombs our capitol beirut we will do the same . We didnot tell israel go bomb beirut but if you bomb Dahye we will do etc etc etc ...

The longer this story keeps circulating, the more difficult it will be for the 137th rate actor, Dr. Manfoukh bel Ghazet to retract from this stupid role that he got himself into and into believing his own fabrications, just like he has been believing his own laughable predictions.

Maybe when Geogea kept on the the ground they thought they got the targe!

It was Aoun's people who want Dr. Ga GA dead. Unfortunately, Bassil trained the sniper with 3D glasses and that is why he missed. Just like when General Aoun fought the ASSyrians back whenever. BTW, Dr. Ga GA's wife is quite the fox!
