“Freedom to assassinate”

Tarek Alhomayed on the Saudi Syrian talks:

The bulk of what we hear and read, stemming from leaked information, is that the objective of these negotiations is to strengthen stability in Lebanon, and preserve civil peace. Essentially, this means that there is a group in Lebanon, with external support, that wants the blessing of Arabs, and others, to have the ‘freedom to assassinate’ in Lebanon. Thus, [according to this principle], anyone who assassinates a Prime Minister, a politician of any rank, or a media personality, should not be harmed; otherwise civil peace in Lebanon will be severely jeopardized.
