Let me guess who the two obvious choices are. Ali from Dahye, or Ali from Damascus.

We want to know who planned it

make sure sehnaoui will hide the data this time too.
the fpm is either behind this or at least covering up the murderors.

But the STL farce was supposed to put and end to assassinations! Oh, I forgot that Israel and its masters (or is it not the other way around?) get away with murder each and every time.

It is a real sad & revolting news ! May God protect him, his family have had enough tears and sorrow ...

But a question comes to my mind : How come now the ISF are doing their job and are foiling such attempts ?

30 years of political murders are enough to point fingers at the real filthy culprits war department !! And the culprits this time are not from March 14 alliance since only them have been hunted down. So are we going to invite Hariri back to the country and then watch another Dahye film production showing us later on, how (god forbids) the israelis assassinated him ! Or another mafia style killing like the one that took the life of late Pierre Gemayel? Those murderers who are secretly pulling the rope are naked before everyone's eye now. Thanks to the STL. I hope they soon rot in the sun hanging down from a rope, in martyrs square! And this is far better than what they deserve...

The leader you mentioned hiding in a hole is more Lebanese than you'll ever be you scum. At the rate you're talking, the shias should go to iran, the sunnis to saudi, the christians to rome and we'll leave the country to the palestinians, syrians and israelis. get a life and stop this ridiculous racism.

Missing hasanzibowawa 03 February 2012, 01:17

what is confusing in this country is that they can never tell us who killed who and who is threatening who. if they thwarted this attempt, does that not mean that they got information? then disclose it so the people know who is killing who.

Living with Arabs there is only one solution, build walls and split the country.

All these assassination plots are planned and would be executed by none other than the hizb of terror. It is amazing how assassinations stopped immediately following the coup of May 7th by the terrorist group that claims resistance. The bankrupt theory that Israel was behind these attempts is just empty rhetoric. As soon as the shia achieved their objectives and forced a government change in which they acquired veto power, all assassinations were halted miraculously!

Sami Gemayel sentenced to death for defaming the hezb... and jabalamel is calling it "a waste of a bullet"
Adel Imam Sentenced to 3 Months for 'Defaming Islam'

I wonder, are the salfasit more mreciful than the hezb? 3 months sentence vs a death sentence.
Assassinations are wrong and should be condemed by all regardless of political affiliations. They are the tool of the primitive.

The season of assassinations is back it seems. What a coincidence that this happens when the Assad regime is fighting for survival...

They are trying to scare them before the feb 14 ralley.or they want one to be killed so the ralley get bigger and bigger with lots of hate from people.so it could be a plot from march 14 or hizbo . one does not trust any one in lebanon.Frankly i think its a march 14 plot.so they can draw more people to their ralley and overthrow the gov.

lllllllllllllooooooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllll........... nice and funny joke !!!!!!!!!!! well suppose he did get assassinated, how will that affect the lebanon? positivlely or negatively??? i guess we lebanese reached a point that we didnt even forget the names of MPs but also their faces!!!!! whether sami jmayyel or any other MP is assassinated, i guess it wont make a difference... b/c eventually him and all his colleagues in parliamant r useless, pointless, inefficient, unsifficient, uneffective,
i assusme a clerk or a janitor would do a better job than what they do starting from Nabih il baghel Berri to the youngest MP...

Do you guys even see yourselves? Ever wonder who/what implanted this hate and distrust in your hearts? If you're honest with yourselves, you'll find that your thinking and behavior is exactly what allows others to exploit the country, disrespect its sovereignty, and breach its security. Start with yourselves. What a disgrace.
