A while ago I found out that Pierre Gemayel, an Anti-Syrian Lebanese Minister was assassinated in Lebanon. He was in his car when a man walked up with a gun equipped with a silencer and shot him at point blank range. He was the youngest minister and he was extremely loved by everyone. I hope a civil war doesn’t break out because of this.
I have some work I need to finish up but its hard to get back to work now after hearing this news, I think I am going to go home. [Link]
update: More info is coming in. Seems he was driving his car (it was a KIA) and two cars blocked his path, one from the front one from the back. One guy came out with a machine gun equipped with a silencer and fired at the car. They then took off.

These Syrians are starting to get on my nerves…what the hell do they want from leb.?!?! GTHO!!
Nice blog, heres hoping everyone here in Beirut keep their cool.
A sad, sad day for Lebanon.
He was 34…So sad…
Allah y3eeeen libnan.
F***K Syria & Hizb el Shyateen
this is messed up, i had to do a report on his death today and it was quite painful.
dont people like him have security cars ? those bulletproof windows n stuff ?
god damn it! Why doesnt syria just stay out already!
he has a bullet proof bmw. dont know why he was in the kia. lately a lot of political leaders have been travelling around in regular everyday cars for security reasons. even saad harriri was spotted with a old peugot 407.
fucken “8th of adar” these ppl love to kiss syria’s ass, fuck syria, fuck hezbollah, fuck every one that is pro-syrian.
This is a message for every lebanese: if you are pro-syria get the fuck out and go to your pimp syria
syrians r startin to get on my nrevous whatever happens lebanon will be strong
Very sad ,i hope this will unite all the people in Lebanon
the problem is the people that took the lebanese nationality in the part 20 years, these people are more loyal to syria than lebanon, these people are not worth being lebanese or in lebanon. like some guys say in kuwait “get the fuck out”
Another sad day in recent Lebanese history.
Our prayers are with you and your country.
Unbelievable… what will it take to get Lebanon back on track?
May God protect Lebanon and its people
GOD BLESS LEBANON
Who is he??
actually it was more than one guy with machine guns and silencers. Sheikh Gemayel and one bodyguard were killed and another in critical condition.
Mocman, Pierre Gemayel is a 34 year old minister of industry in lebanon, who is the son of ex president Amiin Gemayel, is anti-Syria, and one of the main leaders of the Christian Phlange Party, founded by his grandfather.

MITNA WA 3ASHA LOUBNAN
These days we are more concerned about death in Lebanon than about life, it’s sad. We were back on the map for a while, nice and short honeymoon, but now everyone sees Lebanon as a disfunctional chaotic state. Like my dad always says, a house divided on itself cannot stand. when will we see the end of this?
Nice blog Mark, Nat — Samer, Dubai.
steve_leb are you saying that sa3d al harriri killed Pierre Gemayel?! how in the hell a guy will get so stupid to kill a leader that gives him a big chunk of christian supporters and a strategic advantage on the ground?? And why the only people who get whacked are anti-syrians?
if some one wants lebanon to be a total mess the first thing he do is to assassinate a pro-syrian leader like from Hezbollah, amal maybe some one from the lebanese patriotic movement, but no, the only people are dyeing are anti-syrians.
and do you really think that gazy kan3an and his brother committed “suicide”
And yes MITNA WA 3ASHA LOUBNAN
Lebanon has the highest debt to GDP in the world and it will keep piling up as foreign investors will shy away due to political instabilities. The question at hand is who has the most to benefit from this? It is definitely foreign and not the Lebanese people.
Inshalla things go back to normal.
i totally agree with andy..infact saad harery has no problems with lebanese christians that if not most of his freinds are christians..while pepole such as hizbulah muslim extremist whom are givin bad impression bout islam should be sent back to his homeland syria were he can stay there along side his pepole and kill each other for fun..& like jebran twaini said negsem belah el 3atheem muslumun wa mase7eyun an nabga muwa7eden ela abad el abeden defa3an 3an lubnan el 3atheem..
Andy.. as i said “WALLA MA HADA 3ARIF SHI MIN SHI”.. and to you Mohamad.. please man.. dont get to all these conclusions.. just say the magic word “WALLA MA HADA 3ARIF SHI MIN SHI”.. take care guys.. the ones who are staying in lebanon now days.. keep you head low.. really low.. some shit will be hitting the AC soon lol
WALLA MA HADA 3ARIF SHI MIN SHI, all i know is that what a way to celebrate our independence day.
I don´t cry for fascists. And most of the commentators on here seem to be more of that than they are lebanese. No way it´s been Syria. I´ll eat my shorts if that was true. What about the silencers found on the Beirut airport a few days ago? Where they adresse to the syrian on the US-embassy? Ringin any bells?

No matter what happens in lebanon its people will be strong. Lebanon is the only place on this planet that i love and i dont even live there now. But just one thing for those pro syrian bastards who think syria is the best thing that has ever hapened to this world. Your leaders might be able to act tough by killing all of our important leaders but no matter how many of us u achieve to MURDER…… we will come back strong and our hearts filled with passion and souls more allive then ever……because that is what makes a lebanese …. a lebanese.
