Journalist Ali Hamadeh Receives Death Threat
Prominent journalist Ali Hamadeh, who is the brother of MP Marwan Hamadeh, has informed Lebanese authorities that he received an assassination threat on his website.
Hamadeh told security forces and the General Secretariat of the March 14 coalition that he received the death threat last Wednesday, media reports said.
The person who wrote the threat told Hamadeh that he was planning to kill the journalist while going out of Future TV building but he lost his opportunity after receiving a phone call.
Hamadeh has a political talk show on Future and writes a daily column for An Nahar newspaper.
His brother Marwan was the first politician to be targeted in a series of bombing attacks in the past years. He escaped an assassination attempt in October 2004.
