Defendant slain in court room
 A Lebanese national killed a defendant being tried for genocide in a Beirut courtroom Wednesday in an act of revenge, police said. | They're conducting genocide trials in Lebanon? Did they clear this with the UN? |
The minute defendant Mohammed Farhani appeared in court at the military tribunal, a member of the audience, Mustafa Mustafa, rushed to the middle of the room and shot him. | "Take this, mutha f**ker!" BANG! |
Police said Mustafa smuggled the gun in the tribunal building by hiding it in the gypsum that covered his leg which he pretended that it was broken. Mustafa did not go through the metal detector pretending that his fractured leg was fixed with metallic plate and screws, police added. | Ok, I give him A+ for the hidden gun in the cast gag, A+ for talking his way around the metal detectors and A+ for marksmanship. He does lose points for lack of an escape plan, but still gets a final grade of A. |
Initial investigation indicated that Mustafa acted to avenge the killing of his brother. | No details as to who his brother was, why he was killed and why this is a genocide trial |
