2014-05-27
[An Nahar] Mahmoud Hayek, a Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
member charged with involvement in a botched liquidation attempt against Telecom Minister Butros Harb, has been "killed in Syria," according to media reports.

"Mahmoud Hayek, who was charged with attempting to assassinate Minister Butros Harb, has been killed in Syria," Future TV reported on Monday afternoon.

Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, the pilot and the copilot had both hit the silk.
Jack! Cynthia exclaimed. Do you know how top drive one of these things?
Jack wiped some of the blood from his knuckles. No, he said. Do you?...

news website alkhabarpress.com, which is close to Hizbullah, confirmed that "Mahmoud Hayek was martyred while performing his jihadist duty," an expression Hizbullah uses to announce the death of group members killed fighting in Syria.

According to the website, Hayek hails from the southern town of Adchit.

"Security sources said they're aware of reports about Hayek's death and that they obtained information confirming his death," MTV reported in the evening.

The sources, however, declined to confirm or deny the news in a final manner.

For his part, Minister Harb denied to MTV receiving any official information on Hayek's alleged death.

Hizbullah had on Sunday announced the death in Syria of Fawzi Ayyoub, a top military leader who hails from the southern town of Ain Qana.
