Report: Security Officials to Announce Results of Probe on Geagea Attack
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese security authorities will announce the results of the investigation of the sniper attack on Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea in the coming hours, March 14 opposition circles said Tuesday.
The sources told An Nahar that the results of the probe would settle the controversy on whether Geagea escaped an assassination attempt or he was only shot at.
The sources were referring to a statement made by President Michel Suleiman during his visit to Sydney last week that the sniper attack on Geagea couldn’t be considered yet an attempted murder.
“Until now, it can only be considered as a shooting and the investigations would reveal if it was an assassination attempt… and I hope it’s not,” Suleiman told reporters there.
Geagea said earlier this month that he had been shot at twice by snipers as he was walking with bodyguards outside his fortified residence in Maarab, northeast of Beirut.
But the bullets made holes in the wall of the house.
The March 14 opposition described the shots fired at Geagea as a terrorist attack and an attempt to suppress the LF leader.

hmmm ... they need to realize if this was an attempted murder or just shot at! very insightful indeed
Conclusion of the probe: the shots fired at Geagea were part of a new mechanism deployed by the ministry of Bee2a to preserve the flowers of Lebanon .. .the shots were just a warning to all Lebanese not to pick flowers!

Staging it with the help of his bodyguards. I thought he was in his garden inside his house not outside his fortified residence walking with his bodyguards. Let Geagea make up his mind.

No, I think it means if it was an assassination attempt or a shooting with purpose to intimidate and threaten but not to kill

The sad reality is that they will call it what they want but they will never catch the low lives that did this because as is the case in all assasination cases they are politically motivated and the findings are too sensitive to ever release as this would likely start a civil war. lebanon is the size of a cattle farm in outback australia and yet our security forces cannot catch the criminals? very convenient.
