| DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) - Daniel Nehme, a member of the central leadership of Syria’s ruling political coalition, has died at age 78, the official Syrian Arab News Agency said Sunday. Ta-ta, enjoy the heat. SANA said Nehme, appointed a leading member of the National Progressive Front in 1972, died late Saturday from a heart ailment at the Shifaa hospital in Damascus. The National Progressive Front is made up of seven political parties, including the Baath Party of President Bashar Assad. Nehme was also a member of the politburo of Syria’s Communist Party. Nehme joined the Communist Party in 1944. A year later, he graduated from Damascus University and began practicing law in the Mediterranean port city of Latakia. As a communist, he was jailed several times, once for three years of hard labor starting in 1951. He had also worked as the editor-in-chief of the Communist Party’s al-Nour magazine. Nehme will be buried on Monday in Mashtal Hilo village near Tartous, some 144 miles northwest of Damascus. Ugly mutt too, check the link. |
