LBCI reveals evidence in MP Harb assassination attempt

Security sources told LBCI that the security apparatuses have enough evidence so far to be able to reveal the identities of the people involved in the assassination attempt that targeted MP Boutros Harb. The sources stated the evidences as follows:

1- Four simulation drawings of four suspects: one person was working on the elevator, two were assisting him and one claimed to be army intelligence member helped the other escape.

2- DNA samples to be extracted from the shirts of the people who engaged in a fight with the suspects, as well as DNA samples to be extracted from the equipment box used by the suspects.

3- Communications data: the security forces began to receive these data, which is useless so far, because these data are free from the so-called NZ.           

The security sources said that the assassination attempt was foiled thanks to a retired officer who was in the building. He was the one who foiled the attempt from the beginning. The sources pointed that the professionalism of the group, showed the speed of the protection group who moved in less than one minute to arrest the person who claimed to be “Rabih al-Khawli”.                

Earlier on Friday, the public prosecutor Said Mirza and the State commissioner to the military court Judge Saqr Saqr visited MP Boutros Harb and informed him of the course of the investigation.

On the other hand, Harb received a call from the Telecommunications Minister Nicolas Sehnaoui, who confirmed that the communications data covering all Lebanon, not only the area of Badaro, will be handed over. He noted that the wrong person was being contacted in the Ministry regarding the data.
