A Missed Assasination Attempt:Downtown Beirut, Martyr Square
Army military Intelligence arrested 3 persons yesterday (caught with arms) who were trying to assassinate General Aoun, Rabin style . 2 Syrian nationals Mohammad Jamal were caring a gun and another Syrian Shadi Jestoun were arrested by Lebanese Intelligence on the podium acting suspiciously. The two Syrians were already in the VIP podium , trying to approach the General who was speaking behind a bullet proof glass. They were arrested on the spot. Profiting from the chaos, one Lebanese accomplice Ahmad Rifaii, who let them sneak into the VIP, was also arrested trying to escape after the arrest of the two Syrians. Intelligence Sources within the Ministry of Defense in Lebanon, on the base of anonymity, said when taken into custody, the Syrians confessed they were trying to kill Aoun. Intense pressures and contacts are under way between the Syrian command and the Lebanese Army to defuse this incident and let the Syrians go free.
