Gemayel Accuses Skaff of Involvement in the Zahle Crime

Ex-President Amin Gemayel on Tuesday accused MP Elie Skaff of “advance knowledge” of the Zahle crime and urged him to turn the culprits in to justice.

Gemayel, in a radio interview, said the Zahle crime that resulted in gunning down two Phalange Party officials and wounded three people on Sunday was “pre-planned. It is a major plan and some of Zahle”s leaders are involved in it.”

 

Addressing Skaff, Gemayel said: “I look you in the eyes Mr. MP Skaff and I tell you: don”t get yourself, your clan and the Zahle area involved in a battle that is much bigger than you. Do not try to play with fire for you know what the Phalange Party is.”

 

“We behave with a sense of responsibility, but our responsibility also is to protect ourselves and our families. That is why I ask you to turn the culprits in, without delay, and we will be ready to confront anything,” Gemayel added.
