7 Men Face Death Penalty in Assassination of Hizbullah Official
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A military examining magistrate indicted on Thursday seven men on terrorism charges that could result in the death penalty for their links to the assassination of a former Hizbullah official in 2004.
Judge Imad al-Zain issued his indictment that called for sentencing four Lebanese and one Egyptian to death along with two other people who are on the run.
The Hizbullah official, Ghalib Awali, was killed in a car bomb blast in Beirut's southern suburbs on July 19, 2004.
The explosion occurred outside his home in the Mouawad district.
At the time Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah vowed to cut off the hands of the killers, saying the attack was carried out either by Israeli agents who infiltrated into Lebanon with European, American or other foreign passports, or at the hands of local Lebanese agents.
Al-Zain issued arrest warrants against the suspects and referred them to the permanent military court for trial.

Peace brings up a good point Bernard. After all, Mr. Hariri was murdered in early 2005 and still, no one is caught or brought to justice.
You really didn't have to resort to name calling. After all, you made yourself look like a fool (not that you are one) by your demeanor and limited knowledge ...
May God bless you with His wisdom.

Peace bring up a valid point. After all, Mr. Hariri was assassinated in early 2005 and still no answers.
Bernard, I recommend that you check your facts before throwing insults around. After all, you made yourself look like a fool (not that you really are!) by your disrespectful comments to "peace" and limited knowledge on the topic at hand.
May the Lord give you His wisdom and knowledge.

The only crimes that get justice are against HA in lebanon. HA's official is killed, they kill 7 people "pilgrims" are kidnapped, they stop the country.... What about the priest that was kidnapped by a hezbollahi in Baalbeck? Shouldnt the thug be in jail instead of being "convinced" to release him?

How did they surface this one out now? To show some sympathy towards Hezb and that they are "also" targeted and not just m14?
Bullshit. And why such a severe penalty for killing a person that probably has blood on his hands himself. So, justice for Hezb only and not anyone else?
How about the 4 named in Hariri's assassination?

Well if its all about justice then
what about those 4 from hizbollah that
Assassinated rafik al hariri and Wissam al hasan?
Or these guys are sunnah they don't count??
Whoever wants or intend to kill should be punished the same way no one is perfect
And hasan nsrallah should be the first to go.
Someone tell 3emad el zein to shut his mouth
Because justice is for all not for special groups

And how many of Hizbollah are sentenced to death for killing Army pilot Samer Hanna, Rafic Hariri, Wissam Hassan and others... They sentence 7 people to death to give justice to a terrorist party... shame on this judge,and God bless the soul of the martyrs.
