ادى انفجار في وسط بيروت، صباح الجمعة، الى مقتل مستشار رئيس "تيار المستقبل" سعد الحريري، الوزير السابق محمد شطح في وسط بيروت.

وانفجرت سيارة مفخخة مقابل بنك عودة في ستاركو في وسط بيروت، وادت الى مقتل شطح، الذي كان يستقل سيارة من نوع نيسان اكس-ترايل، ونقلت جثته الى مستشفى رفيق الحريري.

وأعلنت وزارة الصحة أن الانفجار ادى الى مقتل 6 اشخاص، بينهم 4 لم يتم التعرف عليهم.

في حين أن عدد الجرحى تخطى الـ50.

وادى الانفجار الى تضرر عدد من المباني والسيارات ضمن مساحة 400 متر. وأعلن مفوض الحكومة لدى المحكمة العسكرية القاضي صقر صقر من مكان الانفجار أن "زنة العبوة في انفجار ستاركو تتراوح بين 50 و60 كلغ".

بدورها افادت الـMTV أن السيارة المفخخة هي من نوع "نيسان" وكانت مركونة الى جانب الطريق وهي مسجلة باسم أحمد أبو غزالة.

وقام الأمين العام للمجلس الأعلى للدفاع اللواء الركن محمد خير على رأس وفد بتفقد المكان الذي وقع فيه الإنفجار لتحديد الإحتياجات الملحة للمتضررين لإتخاذ التدابير المناسبة لتقديم المساعدات.

وآخر تغريدة لشطح على صفحته على "تويتر" كانت "حزب الله يهول ويضغط ليصل الى ما كان النظام السوري قد فرضه لمدة ١٥ عام: تخلي الدولة له عن دورها وقرارها السيادي في الأمن والسياسة الخارجية".

ومن الجدير بالذكر، أن اجتماعاً كان من المفترض عقده في بيت الوسط عند التاسعة والنصف من صباح الجمعة، اجتماع لقيادات 14 آذار ونواب الشمال من أجل متابعة تنفيذ مقررات مؤتمر طرابلس السياسية.

واثر الانفجار، دعت الهيئة العليا للكوارث اعضاء الهيئة الى اجتماع فوري وطارىء في السراي الحكومي، بناء على توجيهات رئيس حكومة تصريف الاعمال نجيب ميقاتي.

وأوعز خليل، الى مستشفيات العاصمة كافة، بوجوب استقبال جميع المصابين في التفجير الارهابي، وتقديم أعلى درجات العناية لهم.

وأعلن أن الوزارة تضع كل امكاناتها لتأمين ما يلزم لمعالجتهم.

يُذكر أن شطح كان سفير لبنان في واشنطن بعدها مستشار لرئيس "كتلة المستقبل النيابية" فؤاد السنيورة بعدها وزير مال، فمستشار للحريري.

If you don't go wander around in the wrong neighbourhood there is no reason anything should happen to you or your family. Expats are not targeted, but don't stand in the middle.

This was a moderate, internationally respected diplomat with a great intellect. He is the latest M14 politician to be assassinated. I have no proof of who done it, but a couple of questions beg to be answered:

1. Why is it that only M14 Politicians keep getting assassinated?
2. Please remind, how many M8 politicians have been assassinated since 2005?

The pro-HA crowd will say Israel did it. I understand: they are conditioned to assign all blame to Israel and I am sure that they believe what they say. I don't agree with them. My usual suspects are the Bashar/HA alliance.
There is a whole body of impartial international jurists who are accusing HA of similar crimes and so far HA's only defence is to hide the suspects and accuse the tribunal as "Israeli/American". That's not how you defend yourself in court. You show up and defend your case. Hiding will make you nothing more than a criminal fugitive.

Thumb jabal10452 11:52 ,2013 كانون الأول 27

bigjohn... The truth is that we just don't know who did it. We have our suspicions based on our perception of the ongoing conflict in Lebanon and on our political convictions. You say that those assassinations benefit Israel, because I think that you blame most the ills of Lebanon on Israel. I don't see it this way. Of course, Israel dumped the Palestinans on us, and is certainly responsible for many of the problems that we have. But there is another agenda here: HA, Syria and Iran want to see Lebanon solidly in their camp. The roadblock to this agenda is M14. M14 leaders keep getting liquidated and M14's intellectual pool keeps getting thinned. Thus my suspicions against the HA/Syrians alliance.

Thumb jabal10452 12:07 ,2013 كانون الأول 27

Well if HA doesn't believe in the tribunals impartiality, then the proper way to handle it is to argue its case in court with the help of skillful lawyers. Hiding the suspects only exacerbates the case against HA. It tells public opinion that HA has something to hide, doesn't it? I certainly got this impression!

On Wednesday, President Sulieman said that he could accept a fait accompli neutral cabinet, that is, one in which neither Hezbollah nor any other political party could hold a veto. Yesterday, Naim Kassem, in response to the President's suggestion voiced strong opposition and said "Anything could happen".

Last night Safadi is assassinated by car bomb. Message delivered by Hezbollah -- don't think about doing anything independently with the Lebanese government because we know where you all live, how you go to work and we can kill any of you Lebanese, anytime, anywhere.

And then they want dialogue!

False flag indeed. I don't think Hizbollah is stupid enough to give itself more unpopularity than it already has among most Lebanese.

The only government that benefits from a Lebanese civil war is the Zionist Israeli one.

I'm no fan of Hizbollah or any side in Lebanon to be honest cause they all are absolute shite but this was not their doing.

Israel is behind all anti syrian regim assassination since 2005 to spread chaos.. So by ur logic surian gov (and hezbollah) are israely allies or israel decided to kill all anti syrian regim leadders only to spread cahos so when all appnents are dead prosyrian regime will fight between themself and that's how israel will win... What a nice logic really, here in u made me see the light
Again thank you and plus one

Missing imagine_1979 18:17 ,2013 كانون الأول 27

What a great deduction... U just opened my eyes now i can see.. Saoudi arabiya has been killing all anti syrian regim politicians SINCE 2005 to avoid being hit by arab spring....
Really???? U really think that??? Hariri, assir, hawi....now chateh... Great reasoning from a great patriot
Plus one for u also

Laquis was a soldier again a soldier in a party that is on the ground fighting in syria (for a valid or non valid reason that is not the point)... Chateh is a politician stop mixing things...

"#Hezbollah is pressing hard to be granted similar powers in security & foreign policy matters that Syria exercised in Lebanon for 15 yrs,"

Is Hezbollah involved? Two theories:

1. The most generous: They had nothing to do with it, but knew about it, did nothing to stop it, and let it happen. If they didn't know about an attack that takes this level of intelligence gathering, preparation, telecom coordination, not to mention money to put together, I would be very disappointed.

2. The least generous: They did it to send a message to whomever is thinking about collaborating with the STL. The message: This is dangerous territory, and we are serious, do not go there.

Either way, unfortunately (for them) it will backfire, because you can't take something away from someone who has nothing left to lose.

Like their involvement in Syria, this is another turning point in a series of miscalculations that started with the assassination of Hariri.

This has now become the law of diminishing returns.
