'Assassination attempt on Ahmadinejad thwarted'
10/18/10
Lebanese intelligence prevented an assassination attempt on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during his visit to Lebanon last week, reported Kuwaiti newspaper al-Siyasa as cited by Channel 10 News.
Sources told the newspaper that as Ahmadinejad was making his way to Bint J'beil, an order was received from Lebanese intelligence to stop the Iranian president's convoy and return to Beirut.
The paper reported that Hizbullah was not convinced by the information and insisted on taking responsibility for the safety of Ahmadinejad, but Lebanese President Michel Suleiman intervened, saying Ahmadinejad's safety was the responsibility of the state.
Blaming America is 5...4...3..2.

If at first you don’t succeed....Try, try, again.
Nah, blaming Israel in ...
Ah, rats!
1st you must blame the Joooz, then you blame the Americans for supporting them.
Nah, blaming Israel AND America in...
Why?
Or, this is a fake report to garner sympathy for I’MaNutJob.
The Israelis could blow up a guy in a wheel chair if they wanted to.

You’ve won a free ko-ran!
It was probably a ploy. They would love for Israel to take a shot at him, but they know Israel is too civilized for their backward games. So, the next best thing is to fake it.
No it was not America as Obama wants Ahmadinejad to come visit the White House for beer and to just chill out. So it had to be Israel as the Jew’s have it in for Nut Job (Ahmadinejad )
Yep it was the Jews.
I am deeply saddened.
Not sure if it fake or not, but it certainly fleshes out the growing tension in Lebanon between Hezbollah (and the “Resistance parties”) and the Hariri/March14 coalition. IMO this whole issue with the STL indictments for the 2005 assassination of Hariri is going to lead to some serious bloodshed in Lebanon.
Report: Ahmadinejad survived an assassination attempt during Lebanon visit
10/18/10
A Kuwaiti newspaper on Monday claimed that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad survived an assassination attempt during his last week’s visit to Lebanon. Following information gathered by the Lebanese intelligence, the Iranian leader changed his accommodation from “Phoenicia Hotel’ to’the Iranian embassy in Beirut, the report added.
According to the newspaper, the arrival of the Iranian leader to south Lebanon on Thursday was delayed by more than two hours. The sources cited by the newspaper said that his convoy began to move toward the south on the Coastal Road but then it was ordered to return amid fears among the top officers of the Lebanese army that the assassins will try to hurt him during the trip. The Iranian president’s convoy returned back to the airport in Beirut and an argument developed between Hizbullah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah and head of the army. Nasrallah claimed that the road is secured by his men but the army was not sure about this. At the end the Iranian leader went to the south by helicopter.
For fear of his assassination, Ahmadinejad did not spend the night as planned at Beirut’s Phoenicia Hotel but in his country’a embassy in the Lebanese capital. He was secretly rushed early in the morning to the hotel to dine with his guests.
It should be noted that before the visit an unnamed Sunni organization vowed to kill the Iranian president.
I don’t way ANY leader anywhere assassinated. The world is too much of a tinder box right now. It’s how WWI started and I don’t want a repeat of hostilities. I never want to see any murdered anytime, but now in particular. I remember the 60s and am not anxious to experience the unrest again.
You mean like Leon Kligoffer(sp?) on that attacked ship?? and by the Muzzies...
