Guest guest Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Wednesday, 22 November 2006, 16:25 GMT Crowds mourn Lebanon politician Large crowds have greeted the coffin of assassinated Lebanese Maronite Christian politician Pierre Gemayel after its arrival in his home village. Supporters carried the coffin through Bikfaya, east of Beirut, at the start of three days of mourning. There is tight security in the village and across the country ahead of the politician's funeral on Thursday. Mr Gemayel, the industry minister and a leading anti-Syrian figure, was shot in his car in a Christian area of Beirut. Many people in Lebanon blame Syria for the killing, although Damascus has denied any involvement and condemned the assassination. Mr Gemayel, 34, was the fifth anti-Syrian Lebanese politician to be killed in the past two years. His killing on Tuesday came at a time of crisis in Lebanese politics. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6172110.stm Dasha: Ve/Mo/Me/Ke/Me satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino mobile: Skype ID: +351963916784 jorge_angelino Add me to your address book...
