If Aljazeera is true and the perpetrators are found, then Samir Kassir’s will be the first-ever Lebanese high-profile murder mystery to be solved in history.

The way the government deals with this will tell us a lot about the post-Syrian Lebanon:

-Will the case be transparent to the degree that no matter who the killer is, it would be known to the public?

-What are the consequences of this on the Hariri investigation?

whatever the answer, this could be really big.

I know I’m wishfully thinking here, but could it be that the Lebanese government is putting counter-pressure on Syria to release Lebanese trucks from the border?
