Is there any proof for this irresponsible statement or are you only making things up as a "joke" or to deliberatly spread lies? I guess you are the m14 version of the m8 karim who posts the same stupid accusations about those he hates. So much hate, so little understanding = lebanese in a nutshell.

"Citing a police officer at the scene, the report said the shots had been fired from inside Rahmat Abadi's car as bullet shells had been found inside the vehicle whose windows were intact.". The shooter is one of his entourage. Italian style
The Ayatollah's men are behind it.
