إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

President Michel Suleiman condemned on Thursday the assassination of pro-government Syrian journalist Mohammed Darrar Jammo, hoping that his criminals will be brought to justice.

He warned in a statement of the spread of internal disputes among Syrian parties to Lebanon, rejecting that the country be used to settle scores for Syrian conflicts.

The president demanded that the concerned security agencies intensify their efforts in order to prevent similar crimes from taking place in the future “to preserve Lebanon's stability and the people's safety.”

Jammo was killed at dawn on Wednesday when gunmen attacked him in his apartment in the town of Sarafand, which is a Hizbullah stronghold in southern Lebanon.

The gunmen killed him in a hail of nearly 30 bullets.

Jammo, a 44-year-old journalist and political commentator, was one of Syrian President Bashar Assad's and Hizbullah's staunchest defenders.

Solve the cases of real journalists like Gebran Tueni and Samir Kassir before tackling the case of this propaganda mouthpiece of Hezbollah and Syria (which happen to be the murderers of both Gebran and Samir).

How about you focus on solving the murders of REAL JOURNALISTS like Gebran Tueni and Samir Kassir before you tackle this case of propaganda mouthpiece of Syria and Hezbollah (BOTH PRIME SUSPECTS IN THEIR MURDERS).

Goldmaan, what a stupid and irrelevant comment.

Not only are you a racist bastard but you are a stupid liar. Go have a look at the women in Dahye and tell me they look nothing like Assir's clan ...

And what the hell does M14 or their women have to do with Assir... this little fantasy is only in your garbage you call a brain.

Take your filthy women to Dahye for a tour and see if they are more welcome than in Saida or Tripoli ...

Goldmaan is josh bustany, a mentally ill baathist syrian who hates muslims and want to create a fake illusion of a christian-shiite-alawite united religion. Josh is "christian" and thinks that alawites and shiites are his protectors against the evil muslims who wear hijab unlike shiite women who as you know are secular, wear bikini, drink vodka and arak and shiites as you know never harm minorities hehehe.

Assassinations are just wrong. Perpetrators should be punished.
