 Chief Military Investigating Magistrate Rashid Mezher continued investigations Thursday into the assassination of MP Gebran Tueni, focusing on who owned the Renault 19 that carried the bomb.
| Don't forget the BMW they used as the getaway car... |
The Lebanese Military Judiciary is still detaining the importer of the car, the owner of the car agency that sold the car and the person who delivered the car to its current buyer. It is believed these people will remain in custody until the identity of the buyer is known.
| The guy that delivered the car will be the only one of any value. The others are just a couple of sad sacks, I'd guess... |
On Thursday, Mezher pleaded for legal assistance from the different security institutions in the country, and asked the Range Rover Company for information about Tueni's vehicle. Mezher also questioned several people, including several resembling the sketch of the person believed to have planted the bomb. Mezher appointed technical experts to examine the remains of Tueni's Range Rover and to analyze samples to verify the type of the bomb used and where it came from. According to judicial authorities, the bomb was "sophisticated" and was detonated in a similar fashion to the bomb in the assassination attempt on Telecommunications Minister Marwan Hamade as well as other assassinations.
| I'd expect they all came out of the same bomb factory. |
