Discrediting Nassib Lahhoud

November 7, 2007 · Mustapha Hamoui

Trying to bring down March 14’s preeminent presidential candidate.

Pro-Hezbollah newspaper Al-Akhbar and Aoun’s tayyar.org have published what they claim are pictures of a membership card of Nassib Lahhoud as a special forces member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. The PLO is very unpopular with Lebanese Christians.

Mr. Aoun’s discussions with Hariri apparently did not prevent him from playing dirty politics by smearing the reputation of March 14’s most popular presidential candidate.
