| BEIRUT (Ma’an) -- The head of Fatah in Lebanon, Muneer Maqdah, said Saturday that Ghandi Sahmarani, who was found dead this morning, was the leader of what remained of the Islamist Soldiers of Levant group. Ghandi? So much for that "what's in a name" thing... Maqdah told Radio Lebanon that the motive behind the killing was not clear but that no gunshots were heard recently. Hmmmmmmm. Somebody wanted him dead maybe? He highlighted that the body was found at the entrance to the farmers market in Ein Al-Hilweh refugee camp. Yo. Farmer Mahmoud. Where wuz youze yesterday? I ain't gotta talk to you, copper! Ah, so you're lawyerin up, huh? WHACKWHACKWHACKWHACK... “The man was not used to leaving the area except to settle disputes with other members of his group. He was in At-Tawari (emergency) area and has not entered the camp for years,” Maqdah added. He used to be a big shot. Now...not so much. He said he assumed the man was killed outside and for unknown reasons his body was secretly sent to Ein El-Hilwah. Christmas present for..."somebody"? The body was found this morning with a gunshot in the mouth and the hands and feet were cuffed with wires. Ah. Suicide, Quince? You would think so, Sam. But the hands and feet cuffed with wires trouble me... |

| #2 Sounds like somebody's settling up all family business... Makdah said that Sahmarani, a Lebanese, had been "a friend" of Abdel Rahman Awad, the presumed chief of the shadowy Fatah al-Islam, an Islamist group which fought a deadly battle in 2007 against the Lebanese army at Nahr al-Bared refugee camp in the country's north. In August, Lebanese troops killed Awad, a Palestinian, and his aide, "Abu Bakr" Mubarak, in a shootout in the eastern town of Chtaura in the Bekaa Valley. |
