Lebanese Christian Political Leader Found Dead in Syria

Pascal Suleiman, a Lebanese Christian leader, was reported missing on April 7 and later found dead in neighboring Syria. Suleiman was a leader of the Lebanese Forces, a Christian-based political party that opposes Hezbollah, and many speculate his death was politically motivated. 

Two theories are causing an uproar in Lebanon regarding Suleiman’s death. The official story, released by the Lebanese army, is that Syrian residents kidnapped him and killed him in an attempted robbery. While there is tension in the country among residents and the nearly 1 million Syrian refugees, many believe this was a politically motivated crime tied to the Hezbollah political party. Suleiman actively challenged the party.
