Three people taken in for questioning in Tueni murder investigation
2005-12-25
Lebanese judicial sources announced Friday the military judiciary has taken three people in for interrogation in the assassination of MP and journalist Gebran Tueni. Although the sources did not reveal whether the three people were suspects, they said the three may hold information that could serve in the hunt for the perpetrators who parked the Renault that detonated beside Tueni's motorcade. Footage of the assassin was captured on recordings by surveillance cameras installed in surrounding factories.

For his part, Speaker Nabih Berri pressed personal charges on behalf of the Lebanese Parliament on Friday against the assassins of MP Gebran Tueni. He entrusted attorneys at law MPs Edmond Naim, Nicolas Fattoush Robert Ghanem and Walid Eido to follow-up on the case. Elsewhere, Ghassan Tueni, Gebran's father, said "hatred must be buried and revenge must not be sought," but added that he would not "bury justice, rights and the dignity of his son."

Speaking following a meeting with Orthodox Patriarch Ignatius IV Hazim and Beirut's Orthodox Archbishop Elias Aoude, Tueni said he would examine with Aoude the legal means that should be adopted regarding Gebran's assassination.
