*****Elie Hobeika*****

Didn't he recently experience a rather unfortunate blowing up event?

What the heck do you care if Hobeika is dead? You never even heard of him before he was bumped off.

[LarryLied]

He blowed up good, he blowed up real good.

Yep. From an article in J. Post.

....'A previously unknown group, "Lebanese for a Free and Independent Lebanon," opposed to the Syrian presence in Lebanon, claimed responsibility for the assassination. It said Hobeika was a Syrian agent who committed treason against his country and people.'
