Al-Mustaqbal MP Hobeish, his Father Receive Death Threats
Former Minister Fawzi Hobeish confirmed on Tuesday reports that he and his son al-Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc MP Hadi Hobeish received death threats.
“Five unknown assailants aboard a BMW X5 model with tainted glass blocked the way off my car near Ghazir junction and asked my driver to convey a message to me and to my son,” Hobeish told the National News Agency.
“You and your son should watch out as your time is near,” the assailants said in the message, according to Hobeish.
The NNA said that the former Minister filed a complaint with the competent security agencies that immediately opened an investigation into the incident.
Media reports said that the Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau arrested recently a Nigerian national who was allegedly monitoring the Beirut residence of the mother of Mustaqbal bloc MP Nouhad al-Mashnouq.
Several deputies of the opposition March 14 alliance received death threats from Syria through text messages, days after the assassination of Hasan, media reports also said.
