Syria's Lebanese hit list

Article Abstract:

Samir Qassir, the Lebanese columnist, was killed on 2 June 2005, because he was acting as a middleman between Syria's banned Muslim Brotherhood and left-wing elements exploring the possibility of an opposition alliance to challenge the increasingly beleaguered Ba'athist regime in Damascus. He was one of the key opposition figures responsible for organizing anti-Syrian protests in the capital following the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri on 14 February 2005.
