وفود رسمية وشعبية شيّعت شطح ومرافقه في وسط بيروت
Read this story in Englishشيع لبنان الاحد، الوزير السابق محمد شطح ومرافقه طارق بدر، بمشاركة رسمية وشعبية غفيرة، في مأتم كبير في جامع محمد الامين في وسط بيروت.
وأقيمت الصلاة على جثماني شطح (62 عاما) وبدر (26 عاما) داخل الجامع ونقلا الى الباحة المجاورة للمسجد حيث دفنا بجوار ضريح رئيس الحكومة الاسبق رفيق الحريري.
وحضر التشييع الذي تم وسط تدابير امنية مشددة، الوزير علاء الدين ترو ممثلاً رئيس الجمهورية ميشال سليمان الذي قلد شطح، وسام الارز من رتبة ضابط اكبر. وشارك في التشييع، رئيس حكومة تصريف الاعمال نجيب ميقاتي والرئيس المكلف تمام سلام ورئيس "كتلة المستقبل النيابية" فؤاد السنيورة، ورئيس "حزب القوات اللبنانية" سمير جعجع.
وتسبب انفجار سيارة مفخخة، في ستاركو في وسط بيروت الجمعة، بمقتل ستة اشخاص آخرين بينهم مرافق شطح الشخصي، وجرح العشرات وباضرار بالغة في الابنية والسيارات المجاورة.
والاحد، أوضح المكتب الاعلامي في دار الفتوى في بيان أن عدم مشاركة مفتي الجمهورية الشيخ محمد رشيد قباني في تشييع شطح يعود الى رسالة سابقة تلقاها المفتي "شخصيا من نادر الحريري في تشييع المدير السابق لفرع المعلومات في قوى الامن الداخلي اللواء وسام الحسن".
يُذكر أن شطح شغل مناصب وزير المالية وسفير لبنان في واشنطن ومسؤوليات عدة في صندوق النقد الدولي.
تميز بثقافة واسعة وانفتاح على كل الاطراف والاديان. حصل على دكتوراه في الاقتصاد من جامعة تكساس في الولايات المتحدة العام 1983، ودرس في الجامعة مادة الاقتصاد اعواما عديدة.
ومنذ 2005، قتل بعد الحريري ثماني شخصيات من قوى 14 آذار، بالاضافة الى ثلاث شخصيات امنية وعسكرية، اثنتان منها مقربتان من تيار "المستقبل".

There will be more funerals for moderate and secular Sunnis as they are purged by extremest Sunnis ...

sagh, u're an animal with no education and manners...
I don't think u have a religion...

at least show a bit of decency in front of death!
once more you are accusing the victim of committing a terrorist act on itself!
m8 is just a bunch of terrorist murderers

terrorist ~ "he is an a-n-i-m-a-l- and will have to be put down soon."
Exactly the behavior I posted about above ... and as usual you begin with those closest to you ...

Yes be descent, terrorist usually comits suicides by several bullets, should be gazed during the night, should have their women and childreen helpped and executed in front of them... That's the civilized way to act...
Like us we should have 13 political assassinations, assassination attempt, criminal made saints, black shirts, 7ayyar...and say thank you...
Off course man, again plus one for you, keep it up

This has stared way before extremists have been in Syria and now in Lebanon. Do not fool neither yourself nor us about takfiris. The real enemy of Syria and HA are not only sunni moderates but all moderates. The list of Christians and Sunni leaders assassinated is a testimony of this.
To exist HA and Syrian regimes need to have extremists in front of them in order to justify their presence. HA wants to eliminate the moderates Lebanese as they represent an obstacle to its hegemony. Remember who was arming Fatah el Islam in Nahr el Bared? Who said that Nahr el Bared was a red line? Who helped escape and give a refuge in Syria to the leader of Fatah el Islam?

Impressive, i do agree on this one greatpierro... At last some comon sense, thanks bro...

greatpierro
I agree 100%

@mckinl
I hope you are wrong. I also hope that our security forces will take drastic preventive measures to prevent any more assasinations

Yes like harir, flayhan... wissam el hassan... All da3ech and al nousra (via abou adass , chaker el abssi...) yes bravo...
Plus one man, bravo

at least show a bit of decency in front of death!
once more you are accusing the victim of committing a terrorist act on itself!
m8 is just a bunch of terrorist murderers

I think the Lebanese should seize the momentum to impose a de facto government a pro western gov't to restore peace, stability and economic growth
M8 go to hell

I back up this idea, but we will be heading for a new 7ayyar....
U see this is terrorism or u do what we want or we take the streets and kill u till u do what we want... Pure terrorism....

Well ya reit bro ya reit... Like most of us think even if they donnot say, i wish i was rich, like we all do.. But no maybe lotto next time..
But what does it change to what i hv said about this seem really the defenition of terrorism?...
No plus one for u.. But keep trying u might improve...

better be a pro western sheep than an iranian syrian follower

aoun was also a PRO WESTERN SHEEP ... forgot that hypocrit FTLOL!

By definition, terrorism is the systematic use of violence as a mean for coercion for political purposes. The nuance is at this stage everything is clear, the criminal is known so the question is do we resort to your horrible acts or we lay low and accept defeat. Personally, i hope they pay for it but not with blood instead in jail because the worst thing that can happen to us is to lead by your bloody example

Good vision of things, thks for making the conversation go a step further..
Plus one for u bro :)

How come the rest of the people who were killed in the blast aren't receiving such a prestigious funeral? Aren't they people as well? Didn't they get killed because of this? Again, different classes in Lebanon. Nice to see that harriri attended.

Yes u are right, damn u 14 march next time u get assassinated do a small buring in a corner so no one will get his feeling hurt.. DAMN U 14MARCH!!!!
Plus one for u cowboymicho, bravo...
