Two Phalangists were killed and two others were wounded on Sunday when unknown gunmen in a speeding car opened fire on the Kataeb party headquarters in Zahle in east central Lebanon.
A statement by the Phalange party identified the dead as Phalange members Nasri Marouni and Salim Assi. It identified the wounded as Assi's son, Rashid, and Elias Issa. The statement said the shooting took place around 4 p.m. shortly after Salim Gemayel, son of former President and Phalange Party leader Amin Gemayel, left the Kataeb headquarters in Hawsh al-Zaraaneh in Zahle after inauguration of the center. The elder Gemayel immediately summoned members of the Phalange party's politburo at his mansion in Bekfaya to discuss the shooting attack, according to the statement. It said Prime Minister Fouad Saniora and as well as political and party leaders called up Gemayel to offer condolences. Gemayel called for calm, and urged the government as well as security authorities to bring the culprits to justice without delay. "The criminal is not (Fatah al-Islam leader) Shaker Abssi. He is known. We demand that the government and the security forces put their hands on the criminals as soon as possible," Gemayel said. |
