Car Bomb in Beirut: Wissam Al-Hassan | Al Akhbar English
Wissam al-Hassan was far more influential than all the previous victims of March 14 figures who were targeted, and his assassination takes place in a very different context.
A Lebanese opportunist journalist, Charles Ayoub (who is known for his long standing ties with Syrian intelligence although he publicly admitted that he received cash payments from Prince Bandar in 2009 to write against General Aoun), has been writing series of articles against Hassan and accusing him of working for the CIA and for Mossad. He has also been accusing him of undertaking a dangerous mission in Lebanon after meeting with David Petraeus in Lebanon. Today, Ayoub’s paper is in mourning. Ayoub wrote, in a front-page article, that he lost his “best friend” and that his attacks on Hassan were merely intended to “revive” the friendship between them. Others (both friends and enemies of Hassan) will offer similar eulogies.
Yet, what is left unsaid is that Saad Hariri — as incompetent and foolish as he is — has been playing with fire. He foolishly decided to play the game of "regime change" which brought about the humiliation of the US in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sitting on his yacht in exile in the Mediterranean, Hariri may have been responsible for instigating a game that ultimately resulted in the death of his key aide.
