Why they killed Wissam Eid

Who killed Mr. Eid? Was it Fath-el-Islam? Was it Syria? Actually, it was both.

The Lebanese were divided into two camps yesterday. The anti-Syrians were saying that the Syrians killed him because he was the genius who was putting together the tribunal’s data, and the pro-Syrians were saying that he was killed by the Islamists of Fateh Al Islam because of his crucial role in uncovering them.

So who is right? Well, perhaps both are.

Annahar, Lebanon’s largest daily, revealed this today

In short, Mr. Eid was, according to “high ranked security insiders”, the very officer who unveiled the relationship between Fateh Al Islam and Syria and traced it back to Assef Shawkat, the Syrian intelligence mastermind whom many blame for the Hariri Murder.
