 Lebanon has suspended another of its top security chiefs three months on from the murder of former Premier Rafik Hariri. Colonel Ghassan Tufeili, head of the monitoring services of military intelligence, was abruptly asked to stand down from his post yesterday afternoon, becoming the latest high-profile security figure to be suspended following the suspension of State Prosecutor Adnan Addoum last month. Tufeili's departure means Lebanon's head of the Presidential Guard, General Mustapha Hamdan, is the only senior security chief to remain in his post following Hariri's murder after opposition demands that the country's pro-Syrian security heads be sacked for failing to protect Hariri. |
