Arab Democratic Party Denies Leader Fled to Syria
2014-03-06
"Curly-toed slippers, don't fail me now!"
[An Nahar] Arab Democratic Party Secretary-General Rifaat Eid
...secretary general of the Leb Arab Democratic Party, a Pencilneck regime front organization...
denied on Wednesday that his father and the party's leader and ex-MP, Ali Eid, had fled to the neighboring country Syria.
"Perish the thought!"
"My father is practicing his normal life in Hikr al-Dahri town in (the northern district of) Akkar," Eid said in comments to LBCI.

Al-Mustaqbal
... the Future Movement, political party led by Saad Hariri...
newspaper reported earlier on Wednesday that ex-MP Eid escaped to Syria after an arrest warrant was issued against him.

"We were created to confront others not to run away," the party's Secretary-General said, addressing former Prime Minister Saad Hariri
Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011. He was born in Riyadh to an Iraqi mother and graduated from Georgetown University. He managed his father's business interests in Riyadh until his father's assassination. When his father died he inherited a fortune of some $4.1 billion, which won't do him much good if Hizbullah has him bumped off, too.

In November, State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr issued a search and investigation warrant against former MP Eid.

The Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau had summoned Eid to question his alleged involvement in the August double bombing in the northern city of Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
.

But the northern leader said he was willing to appear before any security agency except for the Intelligence Bureau.

Eid's driver Ahmed Mohammed Ali is being held by the Intelligence Bureau on charges of smuggling to Syria Ahmed Merhi, one of the main suspects in the bombings against al-Taqwa and al-Salam mosques in Tripoli on August 23.
