Why Was an Attempt Made on May Chidiac's Life?
The Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation (LBC), the news organization for which Lebanese television news anchor May Chidiac, "who was seriously wounded" when her Range Rover blew up on September 25, 2005 when she turned the ignition, "was founded in 1985 by the anti-Syrian Lebanese Forces Party, of which Chidiac is a supporter," according to Agence France Presse (AFP).
The French wire service noted that, "The Lebanese Forces is headed by Samir Geagea, who was freed from prison in July [2005] after 11 years in custody for crimes committed during the Lebanese civil war."
Questions that come to mind about the attempt to kill Chidiac are: (1) Was the attempt made on her life related to her work? (2) Was it related to internal party politics? So far, news reports have given no conclusive answers. Here's a profile on Ms. Chidiac.
