If they have comms, I'm sure we'll hear about it soon enough. And yes, that would ample proof of Damascus' stupidity. :)

I guess it will be printed here http://www.annaharonline.com/ check out the "Latest news" in a day or so.


"An outspoken critic of Syria's role in Lebanon, Tueni had recently been living in France for fear of assassination. His columns in An-Nahar often raised the ire of the Syrians.

After ex-Premier Rafik Hariri's assassination, Tueni played a prominent role in the leadership of the mass demonstrations that, combined with international pressure, succeeded in forcing Syria to withdraw its troops from Lebanon in April, ending a 29-year hegemony. He was elected to parliament for the first time in the last elections in June.

Tueni's grandfather, Gebran Tueni, founded An-Nahar. His father Ghassan Tueni is considered the dean of the Lebanese press, having turned the newspaper into one of the leading media institutions in the Arab world.

He is survived by his wife, Siham Asseily and his four daughters Nayla, Michelle, Gabriella and Nadia."
