| [An Nahar] Sheikh Salman al-Harfani on Wednesday evening was found dead in his textile shop in Hasbayya, the National News Agency reported. "Medical investigation revealed that the holy man has received five gunshots from a 5 mm caliber pistol," it elaborated. Druze spiritual leader Sheikh Naim Hassan condemned the incident, calling on concerned authorities to reveal the circumstances behind it and try the perpetrators. Dar al-Fatwa holy men Sheikh Mazen Hariri and Sheikh Ahmed Fakhran were attacked in the predominantly Shiite area of Khandaq al-Ghamiq earlier in March while two other holy men, one of them identified as Omar al-Imami, were attacked in the southern Beirut suburb of Shiyyah. |
