| Hezbollah official shot dead in Beirut |
| 2003-02-28 |
| Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrilla group said on Friday one of its officials had been found shot dead in his home in southern Beirut. I'm sure his mom will be upset, if he had one. Nimr Noureddine was shot with a hunting rifle late on Thursday night, the Shi'ite Muslim group said in a statement. Them darn elk hunters again! It described the killing as an "assassination" but said the motives remained unclear. So many motives and too many suspects to count. Lebanese officials declined to comment on the incident and Hezbollah declined to give further details. Nobody's talking |

| #5 It described the killing as an "assassination" but said the motives remained unclear. The motive seems pretty clear to me; the shooter wanted the guy DEAD. One down, dozens more to go. |
