BEIRUT — Waleed Junbulat, the Lebanese Druze leader and head of the Progressive Socialist Party, said he expected a bloodless coup to be staged in Lebanon during the current year. He made the statement during his campaign against the extension of incumbent President Emil Lahoud's presidency for an additional term, saying: "We hope that we do not come to the point in history whereby seven members of the parliament requested, under public pressure, President Bushara Al Khori to resign."
| Here Wally, hold this bullseye over your chest. No, no, don't move, I'll be right back. |
He said he was not perturbed that his political dossier will be exposed, as Samir Jagah, the Kataib leader was saying. If that happened, he would also demand investigations to be carried out on his father's assassination.
| He had a bullseye on him too, as I recall. |
Meanwhile, security sources said a bomb exploded under the car of a Junbulat supporter, who suffered minor injuries due to the blast. Investigations were carried out to discover whether the blast had any political or personal links. However, a number of assaults were carried out in the previous months. Junbulat's supporters, especially member of parliament Murwan Hamada, sustained severe injuries.| Now why would anyone suspect a Deep-Laid Plot™ in the Syrian colony of Lebanon? |
