Syrian Interior Minister Admitted to Beirut Hospital
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Syrian Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim al-Shaar was admitted on Wednesday to hospital in Beirut, reported al-Jadeed television.
A Lebanese minister told Agence France Presse on condition of anonymity that al-Shaar arrived at 7:30 pm (1630 GMT) at Beirut airport, and he was taken to the American University Hospital.
"His condition is stable and he was able to talk to the people who received him at the airport. I don't know how long he will stay here," the minister said.
Future television reported that he was in need of large amounts of blood.
Security sources told OTV that the Syrian minister "is undergoing a critical surgery and he's suffering severe burns."
A security source told AFP on December 13 that the minister was wounded in a deadly bomb attack targeting his ministry on December 12 but his condition is not serious.
"He was wounded in the shoulder when the ceiling fell in his office," the source revealed, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"He was taken to hospital but his condition gives no cause for concern and he should be discharged rapidly,” it added.
The triple bombing killed five people and wounded 23, the state SANA news agency reported.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said nine people were killed.
It is the second time that the interior minister has been wounded in an attack.
Shaar narrowly escaped being killed in a spectacular July 18 bombing that claimed the lives of four other top security officials, including the defense minister and the brother-in-law of President Bashar Assad.

He could live a normal life with the tri-therapy.... Infecting him with the Ebola virus would be much more efficient.

Yes they are a disaster but just remember that without the christians, lebanon would be too. Every good hospital we have is a christian hospital. So be grateful for that and give thanks where it belongs.

off topic, irrelevant and downright nasty statement, AUB hospital is "Christian"? what about all the Muslim doctors that work in all these hospitals? What makes something successful is not what religion they're from but how sincere and honest they are and thankfully there are sincere and honest people in all religions. Stop the hate.

Peace I was thinking that. Why does Chavez go to Cuba, Maher went to Russia, abnd why does this criminal go to Lebanon. That incident was last week. Aoun says the problem in Syria will be over on Tuesday 10 months ago. He should get treated in Syria.
Seems like the criminal axis killer don't put money in hospitals. Or maybe he needed to come to Lebanon.....so he can escape elsewhere later.

ha! habibi I assure I only have one account. on a serious note, all your comments are from a person who is in desperate need of attention. You should probably find a better hobby where you can make friends or maybe even a girlfriend. Trust me, it's a much better way to pass the time.

Is he considered a refugee from Syrian violence? If so send him to a tent in the Bekaa and let him have the amount of aid the Hezz are allowing other refugees.
