Lebanon: Shaker al-Absi DNA test to be repeated
2007-09-08
Lebanon's security forces have decided to repeat the DNA test of Shaker al-Absi, slain leader of Fatah al-Islam and took samples from all his five children. The first DNA test did not match Absi's which created a controversy since his wife, relatives and Militants that knew him all identified his corpse at the government owned Hospital in Tripoli. The person who was most upset about the DNA results was the spokesman of the Islamic scholars Sheikh Haithem el Saeed " I knew Shaker al Absi extremely well and I am absolutely sure the corpse I saw was that of Absi regardless of what the DNA test results say."
Which leads to the conclusion that the guy you knew extremely well wasn't really Shaker al-Absi, doesn't it? The real Shaker al-Absi was a nice enough fellow, kind to children and dogs, treated his Mom and wife like queens, and was kidnapped by efrits and djinns. They snacked on his soul, then sucked all the juices out of his mortal shell, which is now a dried, transparent husk blowing across the Arabian desert. His place in society was taken by a djinn named Eduardo. That's who (more precisely, what) was bumped off.

#5  Were my children the spawn of Eduardo the djinn, well I don't know what I'd say.

#1  Shouldn't they ask his wife if his children are related to him?
