Journalist Abu Fadel Attacked by Protesters at Masnaa

W300

Journalist Joseph Abu Fadel was attacked by protesters on Thursday in the Masnaa-Bar Elias area, said various media reports.

They said that his car came under fire as it was passing through the area.

LBCI television said that his car was pelted by rocks.

Al-Jadeed television later contacted Abu Fadel who informed it that he was wounded in the hand.

He added that the windows of his car were broken in the assault, but that he succeeded in running over four of the protesters.

Their condition remains unknown.

The journalist accused takfiris and Mustaqbal movement supporters of being behind the attack.

In addition, he angrily accused President Michel Suleiman, Prime Minister Najib Miqati, and various security agencies of failing to take any action in tackling security incidents in the country.

The Masnaa-Bar Elias road was blocked in retaliation to Thursday’s blocking of the airport road, said various media reports.

Nothing can excuse an attack like this!

However :

Do you accuse them of failing to take action against the Moqdad thugs ?

Why don't you accuse the Defense Minister & Interior Ministor for failing to provide security, gather and jail these thugs whether in Masnaa or the airport road.

While your at it ...

Accuse Gebran Bassil of failing to provide electricity and resolve the situation ...

Accuse Sehnaoui of failing to provide proper communication ...

Accuse Hezbollah and Aoun of creating this situation in the first place by supporting the syrian regime !

They attacked him after he ran over four of them with his car, how dare they block his road to Damascus. I mean really, who do they think they are, Shiites! Besides General Ali Mamlouk was waiting for him with a fresh batch of explosives and Joe knows that the General hates to wait!

Or maybe they just wanted to get to that delicious yellow flesh inside that melon of his.

President Sleiman and PM Miquati are bad for Lebanon. Not because they are doing something, but because they are doing nothing. They should have stopped the miqdad too and those that blocked the highways in Jounieh or occupied the Electricity buildings. Sleiman and Miquati are enjoying the prestige of the post without serving. My sympathy goes to Mr. Abou Fadel and to all civilians suffering in Lebanon.
