Lebanese Christian Leader Says Escapes Assassination
2012-09-24
A Lebanese Christian political leader and ally of the Shi'ite group Hezbollah said he escaped an liquidation attempt when his convoy came under fire in the south of the country.

Michel Aoun
...a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah...
, head of the Free Patriotic Movement
Despite its name a Christian party allied with Hizbullah, neither free nor particularly patriotic...
(FPM), was returning to Beirut on Saturday evening when one of the cars in his convoy was shot at in the mainly Sunni city of Sidon. "I have been exposed to three liquidation attempts (in the past) and the perpetrators were discovered," the website quoted Aoun as saying. "This is the fourth and we hope they will be revealed."

#1  Given his history, I'm surprised that there's been only four attempts.
