Lebanese Army Sergeant Killed while Chasing Criminal
The Lebanese Army command said Sunday that a soldier was killed after a suspect opened fire on him during a chase in the town of Jounieh, north of Beirut.
A terse communique said that an intelligence patrol was chasing Hassan Ahmed Gharib for committing different crimes when he opened fire towards the vehicle and killed Sergeant Samson Antranikian.
Members of the patrol returned fire and injured Gharib, who was seized and taken to a nearby hospital, it said.
The incident took place at dawn Sunday.

He should be found guilty of murdering an army officer and executed by firing squad. If he knows how to fire bullets he should learn to have them fired into him. I have no pity for a ba***rd like that.

How interesting to see that there is at least one person on this site who does not believe that the murderer of an army officer should be executed. Do we need to wonder to which party this denier belongs?
I don't think so.

Isn't it interesting, no matter what goes on in Lebanon, you alway manage to find someone who will blame Israel for it.
Reading this from a distance I don't know whether to laugh at the insincerity of the writers or cry for the murdered officer.

R-I-P Rest in peace sargeant Samson. God bless your soul. You were one of the best people i've ever known. You were a good friend, husband, father, and one of the best lebanese army soldiers ever known. You were blessed honered from GOD on a duty protecting our families, community from dirty criminals, not even worth mentioning his or their dirty names who are until now threatening our kids, families future. Somson... your place is saved in heaven and the dirty criminal his place is saved to be burn in hell. The Criminal now is threatening Somson's family, relatives, and friends. do you people think we should keep quiet?
The Criminal's family members, Gang group now are threatening to take the lives of innocent children, and the lives of the people who always loved the God blessed and honored Samson.
You better stop sending warnings, you dirty criminal... God will take your life. your place is ready in hell.
Rest in peace Somson..
