Syria Grand Mufti’s Son Killed by ‘Armed Groups’

W300

Syrian Grand Mufti Ahmed Badreddin Hassoun’s son and history professor Mohammed al-Omar were killed on Sunday by “gunfire from a group of armed terrorists,” Syria's state news agency SANA reported.

Saria Hassoun and al-Omar were attacked while traveling in the professor's car on the Aleppo-Idlib road in northwest Syria, it said, after having earlier reported that the grand mufti's son was injured and was admitted to Idleb National Hospital.

Dr. Mohammad Deeb al-Haj, thoracic surgery specialist at Idleb National Hospital, said that Hassoun was shot in the back, later dying due to extensive bleeding.

Syrian opposition movements announced the formation of a "historic" united front against President Bashar Assad's regime at a meeting in Turkey on Sunday.

The United Nations says 2,700 people have been killed in the protests against Assad. The U.N. Security Council, meanwhile, remains divided over whether to threaten Assad's regime with sanctions over its deadly crackdown on dissent.

First, shia'a (with the help of the Syrian Alawites - an offshot of Shiaa in Islam) blew-up an influential Sunni leader in Lebanon.
Now, Alawites (with the help of Irani and Lebanese shia'a help), liquidated a Syrian sunni influential figure.

I guess we can all see where this sequence of events is going:
2 years max for the Alawite regime in Syria
10 year max for the shiaa dominance in Lebanon.
