Incriminating evidence live on Lebanese television
2007-06-15
During the live coverage of Walid Eido's assassination, Nabih Berri's news channel anchors forgot to mute their microphones as they proceeded to laugh at the murder of Eido, and imply there was more coming. NBN's technical director forgot to kill the anchorwoman's microphone, allowing viewers to hear her say "it took them long enough", in reference to Eido's murder. In between rounds of laughing and gloating with her colleagues, they speculated that March 14 minister Ahmad Fatafat could be next, and tried to determine how many more March 14 members need to die to get rid of the parliament's majority.

Beyond the divisive and damaging insults being cast in the aftermath of one of the most violent and tragic political assassinations in Lebanon's history which claimed the lives of 10 citizens, the sick comments open a can of worms for Lebanon's delinquent speaker of the parliament, Nabih Berri and his closest ally, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah. The NBN employees imply that there is in fact a plan to eliminate the anti-Syrian majority by killing off their members of parliament.

According to Al Arabiya TV, Ahmad Fatfat is already planning to sue NBN for implying that he is the next assassination target, and plans to ask U.N. Chief Investigator Serge Brammertz to raise the incriminating remarks with international courts.
