Security Sources Confirm Shaker Seeking to Sell Properties to Escape
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Singer-turned Salafist Fadel Shaker, who has gone into hiding since the clashes between Islamists and the Lebanese army in June, has put his properties up for sale, security sources said.
The sources confirmed to An Nahar newspaper published on Friday that Shaker has appeared in an area near the Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in the South where he met with several people for the purpose of selling his properties.
The sources said Shaker has informed them that he needed the money because he intended to travel abroad.
The fighting between the military and Sheikh Ahmed al-Asir's supporters in the southern city of Sidon last month has left scores of casualties.
Al-Asir and Shaker, who have not been seen since the end of the fighting on June 24, were charged in absentia earlier this month.
The anti-Hizbullah cleric teamed up with Shaker, a onetime prominent singer-turned Salafist, when around two years ago he began agitating for the Shiite party to disarm.
Al-Asir's bodyguard was arrested at Rafik Hariri International Airport last week as he was attempting to flee Beirut to Nigeria.
State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr charged Ali Abdul Wahad, a 30-year-old Palestinian, on Wednesday.

the government should take over his property, why would someone buy it and give him the finances he needs?

definitely should be seized, or at least frozen until he's judged. there's no way a fugitive can be allowed to sell properties and finance his escape.

Agree,
Same should be done with all other fugitives such as the ones wanted by the STL and for the attempted murder of Mr. Harb

Shaker, real men face the music and stand up for what they believe in. I guess your convictions in your cause are wavering after realizing you aligned yourself with those who dare shed Lebanese Army blood. I pray you will pay for your indiscretion with you life, one way or another. Me personally, I prefer judge and jury and a sentence of execution by firing squad in the case of the likes of you. I cannot I believe I bought your CD's. I guess I was living in a bubble. STUPID ME!
