| Somebody disposes of a disposable assassin. The only person surprised was probably him, and him not for long. [An Nahar] A man wanted on charges of murdering Lt. Col. Abdo Jasser and Adjutant Ziad al-Mais in October was found dead in the Bekaa town of Majdal Anjar on Tuesday. Mahmoud Mohammed Ajjaj, 30, was found dead with several gunshot wounds in a location near the sugar factory in Majdal Anjar. Investigations got underway to identify the circumstances as the army and the Internal Security Forces encircled the area. Jasser and Mais were killed on October 21 when their vehicle came under gunfire during a raid aimed at finding an army deserter in Bekaa. The eastern Bekaa Valley has historically been known as a safe haven for runaways and gained particular notoriety during the 1975-1990 civil war as a fertile hashish-growing region run by tribes. In April, three soldiers were killed in an ambush on a patrol in the Bekaa when a prominent clan sought Dire Revenge™ for the killing of one of their members, a drug baron who refused to stop at an army checkpoint. |
