Ex-MP Hbous Succumbs to Injuries
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Former Tripoli MP Ahmed Hbous died on Thursday, more than a week after he was hospitalized for accidentally shooting himself, the state-run National News Agency reported.
Hbous, a Alawite, was handling his gun on July 30 when the bullet struck his face.
The ex-lawmaker underwent surgery at the Albert Haykal Hospital in the northern district of Koura the same day.
But he succumbed to his wounds on Thursday, NNA said.
LBCI television said last week that the bullet traveled from his eye and then lodged in his head.
Hbous was elected to parliament in 1996, representing the Alawite seat in Tripoli.

"In life we may have had our differences, but in death we are all the same."
RIP Hbous.
That said, I still support that there be no weapons outside the control of the state.

@FT : the moment I see an ouwatji army "liberating Lebanon" from Shiite Terrorists imported from Iran and waging war against the people's will left and right, then this will be another debate.
For your stupid, illiterate little brain cell to understand : may all ouwatjis and kezbollahis carrying weapons die a horrible death ! And so may their supporters !

@FT : who said it was "their turf" to defend. It's "our turf" meaning it neither belongs to them or us. We collectively rule and defend it.
Stop it already with your twisted logic and defending the undependable. There is nothing you can say to justify the crimes of the KEZB and their weapons.
You can force the weapons on us but you cannot force us to accept them ! Of course, forcing them on us is what you call terrorism !

Under your logic FT, I will build my army to defend "My turf" against trigger happy, war loving, drug trading, iranian islamist terrorists ! This is what lead to the civil war !

@FlameCatcher @ the rest of misinformed populous of this online paper.
I have been reading comments on naharnet.com posted by misinformed member's for the last year or so. This is my first comment or post and might be my last but am regularly on reading silly misinformed and hateful comments. Some of the people keep calling the shi3a sect of Lebanon as Iranians, Iranian agents, Persians, foreigners and so on. Some of these posters are either misinformed not well read or don't know enough of the history of Lebanon and the history of its people. For your information the Shi3a Lebanese are some of the original inhabitants of Lebanon that arrived here from Bani Amelia in Yemen way before Jesus Christ was born. They then settled in Jabal Amel (South Lebanon) and Spread through out most of the land of the Levant.

Guess who is the retard FT...
Who defends his "turf" against isil or Israel?
Did your hezbozos friends fire a bullet at Israel for the past 8 years?
Did your hezbozos friend defend "their turf" against isil? Define "their turf"? Because they certainly did not dfend anything Lebanese. They went to wage a war IN Syria, to defend their sect, and sponsors.
Aaah... and in May 2008... Hezbozos used their weapons to defend their "turf" as well...

That makes the community them well over 2000 years old. The most recent study done on Phoenician genes proofs that the people of the south the Shi3a sect in particular are the closest relatives to the Phoenicians and some of the most original inhabitants of the Levant. So please refrain from using sectarian propaganda and hate speeches to fulfill your sectarian envy.
Having said all that I am sure s you will ignore my comment or try to discredit this information by using hateful, racist, sectarian words and go on being ignorant, because that's what best suites you and the rest of the people alike.

Lebanese unfortunately are some of the most racist, sexist, prejudices people this present world has ever come to known. We claim to be free, democratic and educated, while deep inside we have so much to learn and so much to teach.
"Pity the nation that acclaims the bully as hero,
and that deems the glittering conqueror bountiful.
Pity the nation whose sages are dumb with years
and whose strongmen are yet in the cradle.
Pity the nation divided into fragments,
each fragment deeming itself a nation.”
Khalil Gibran

Clarification! Today's Shi3a of Lebanon were obviously not Shi3a until Islam made its way to the Levant.Perhaps I could have said the inhabitants of southern Lebanon. I decided to term them as such due to the fact that most of the inhabitants of South Lebanon are Shi3a. I don't argue that at some points they were Christians, Jews, and what ever religion was going through the area. The use of sect in my comment was for argument purpose only. In the end some of you as I stated in my earlier post understood me, while the misinformed majority decided to belittle my comments, and resort to personal attacks rather than providing facts. If that's how you mingle I then pity your upbringing.
One last thing Sayeds are from Mecca and Medina but not every shi3a is a Sayed.
