The Death Of A Symbol


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.
