Lassa Shooter Hands himself over to Security Forces

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The man who shot and killed two locals from the Jbeil town of Lassa handed himself over to security forces after the family of the victims had blocked roads in protest against the murder.

Information obtained by al-Jadeed television said that the assailant had handed himself over to the concerned security authorities.

Ghassan Seifeddine and his son Hadi were killed during an individual dispute, which erupted after a traffic accident, in the Wata al-Joz region on Thursday.

Investigations revealed the attacker as Anthony Khalil Khalil, who fled the scene soon after the shooting.

On Friday, relatives of the victims in Lassa blocked the Mayrouba-Wata al-Joz road to demand the arrest of Khalil.

In Beirut, a number of youths blocked the Hadi Nasrallah highway with burning tires to also demand Khalil's arrest.

A similar protest was held in the town of Ain in the northern Bekaa, said al-Jadeed.

All the roads have since been reopened.

Exactly mowaten.
while I am sticking to facts as advised by media and police reports (which I receive daily :)), your friend FT insults the messenger, and why? because it shows exactly what I said in the clear.
if it was a personal matter as FT is trying to say, then why roads in Beirut and Northern Bekaa?

why should you turn a normal stupid 3 people's argument that turned to be a dead end to a political 3rd world country argument. and why are u always cursing one another seeking to eliminate each other. what makes you think that Hezbollah is trying to eliminate you? if they wanted they would've done it before! or are you jealous that at one era you were trying to eliminate the rest of the Lebanese and that now with change of time they have the power that you used to have but they are not abusing it just like you did in the past thats why they're not losing it while you did ! just so you know that your leaders died because they believed in unity and thats why the west killed them Hariri the father legitimated the resistance in Europe and he was killed bashir gemayel got convinced that he cannot live without muslims thats why Israel killed him and so on. Read Books and evaluate the misshappenings before you lash out your anger on the population!

Christian thugs are always caught... think samaha, khalil...
Sunni thugs are promenading in faraya or drinking alchool in the car on the road to bireh, or... held without trial in roumieh block B.
Chiite thugs are negotiated with so that they dont block roads.

Like swarming locust half of Lassa showed up to Wata al-Joz to "demonstrate" and cut the roads after the incident. They got so much free time within the bee3at al hadinat lil Zionist spy infested Iranian Islamic revolution in Lebanon and as everywhere else no one seem to ever be at work.

There are people on both sides who are committing crimes without recourse. When one does it, it's just as bad as when the other does it. However, as long as an unregulated militia exists, those who support it will feel that they are above the law and those who oppose it will feel that they can act in defiance of the law. Until arms are regulated under the complete authority of the state, lawlessness will preside among all. What gets me is when one side claims that their cause is "holy" while the other side's cause suits only the enemy. We all have to understand that our beliefs are subjective; there is no absolute "good" or "evil" outside the state's authority. If M8 is against what the salafists have been doing recently, understand that their actions are a byproduct of Hizballah’s. If you want to contain certain emerging Sunni elements, then you need to first contain the long-flourishing extremist Shiite elements. Please don't reply to this post with the usual "Zionist filth" crap.
