Pierre Gemayel's Assassination Leads To Chaos

Pierre Gemayel, Lebanon's most prominent Christian family was assassinated Tuesday in a daytime hit. He first was cut off by a car in front of him then was rear-ended by a second car, then gunmen burst out and fired a dozen bullets into his passenger-side window. In dealing with this situation President Bush condemned and accused Syria and Iran of seeking to take over Saniora's government. After the assassination of Gemayel many people's tensions have rised on the political issues at hand and the Shiite Muslim guerrilla group Hezbollas and its pro-Syrian allies have begun to threaten large protests. Bush also had this to say about those responsible for the attack on Pierre Gemayel "the vicious face of those who oppose freedom" and vowed support for Saniora's government. John R. Bolton was the man who was officially responsible for blaming Syria and Iran for the attack.
