Another Attempt

November 21, 2006 · Mustapha Hamoui

There was another (failed) assassination attempt on Minister Michel Pharaon, yet another March 14 Anti Syrian Christian cabinet member. Anonymous gunmen have shot at his office in Ashrafieh around 4pm Lebanon time but he was intact.

This second attempt is consistent with the Syrian intended aim of toppling the Seniora Government by gunning down Ministers. Pharaon is an Eastern Catholic Christian in Hariri’s Future Movement.
