The Death Of A Symbol
October 12, 2005 · Mustapha Hamoui
No love lost for Ghazi Kenaan.

Ghazi Kenaan ruled Lebanon for Long and oppressive years. He symbolized everything that was wrong with the Syrian Hegemony: Opression, ruthlessness, fear, corruption and cronyism.
He is said to have committed suicide. Maybe he did, or maybe he was ‘liquidated’ because he was potentially harmful as a witness in the Mehlis investigation. Also, Tony says that Kenaan was a threat to the Assad regime.
