 Lebanon's politicians, religious leaders and civil society members continued to speak out against the assassination of Beirut MP Gebran Tueni on Tuesday, demanding that the perpetrators of the attack be brought to justice to restore Lebanon's security and stability. The latest assassination in a chain of of similar attacks dating back to October 2004 drew a sharp rebuke from prominent anti-Syrian politician Walid Jumblatt, who called on the international community to bring about a regime change in Syria.
"This time this regime should change (and) should be tried," Jumblatt told CNN in the first such call by a prominent Lebanese politician. Directing a personal attack at Syrian President Bashar Assad, he said: "This guy in Damascus is sick. If he stays, we won't have stability in the Middle East. Anyone who opposes the Syrian regime is assassinated. They execute you then they cry for you; walk at your funeral. They will try to invent all kinds of excuses."
| By Jove, I think he's got it! |
