A prominent Lebanese journalist who was maimed last year in an assassination attempt says she will run for a parliamentary seat that has become vacant after the death of a legislator. May Chidiac, an anchorwoman with LBC television, told a news conference in Paris, where she is receiving treatment, that she would run as an independent. Chidiac said she wanted to work in parliament "so that what happened to me does not happen to others and so that the series of crimes taking place in Lebanon are not repeated." "My sacrifices were at the level of the whole of Lebanon and I hope I will get the support of Lebanon as a whole," she said. Chidiac, sitting on a wheel chair, said in footage aired by LBC she hoped "that there will be accordance concerning my nomination."Last September, Chidiac lost her left leg and arm in after bomb placed under her car exploded. The attack was one of more than a dozen have killed or wounded politicians, journalists and other Lebanese in the last year.
