Who's responsible for the bombing and killing of Wissam el Hassan?

Following today’s astonishing Ashrafieh assassination, there was a lot of talk in Lebanon linking today’s explosion to the aborted plan by Michel Samaha.

Yet the more I think of these two sinister plans the more I believe that they have completely different masterminds.

This afternoon a car bomb exploded in the streets of Ashrafiehl. So many lives were lost. So many people were hurt whether physically or emotionally.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the people of Ashrafieh.

Here’s a raw footage from OTV showing how the second explosion happened yesterday in Achrafieh following the first big one that killed Wissam Al-Hassan.

Wissam al-Hassan was one of the most important security figures in Lebanon. He headed up the Information Branch of the Lebanese Internal Security Forces (fir` al-ma`lumat), and was recently responsible for arresting Michel Samaha, a former minister with close ties to Syria, for allegedly conspiring to have explosives blown up all around Lebanon in a bid to create havoc.
