The Lebanese Forces Party on Thursday said the Saleh Aridi assassination aims at "torpedoing the reconciliation that has been achieved between the Progressive Socialist Party and the Lebanese Democratic Party."

Such Crimes, that the LF strongly denounced, "would not succeed in breaking the will of the Lebanese people to achieve reconciliation and entente based on mutual respect," the statement added.

The Baisour crime, as labeled by the statement, "raises questions following the presidential call to resume national dialogue at the Baabda Palace."
