Suleiman Condemns Jammo Assassination, Warns of Spread of Internal Syrian Disputes to Lebanon
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.
