I've noticed he's always described as a former CP leader...what was he now, politically? Was he still in the CP or what?

I ask to try to get some idea of the political context and motive for the assassination.

It seems probable, on the surface at least, that the Lebanese security forces are knocking off one opposition leader after another.

This is a great tragedy. Our fallen commrade never wavered in his opposition to Zionism and his opposition to US roles in the region. He was one of a handful of people who started the leftist coalition known as the LNRM (Lebanese National Resistance Movement) in the wake of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in '82. He was a very influential person in the history of the Lebanese civil war. He was also one of the best polemicists in the Arab world, and a great organizer. The growth of the Lebanese Communist Party in the '60s and '70s can be almost completely tributed to him. He knew how to inspire people: those who were students and intellectuals, and those who were workers and peasants.

The US is only bothering to identify him as anti-Syrian. He was much more than that. How deceptive. I am very suspicious that Israel is responsible for this. For how long can the right-wing opposition blame everything that goes wrong on the "remnants" of the old Syrian-Lebanese intelligence order?
