One of the biggest joys in life is becoming a parent or grandparent. But, it's only a joy if you spend time with the new addition to the family.

We can't say the same for retired singer Fadel Shaker, who has just become a grandparent.

Fadel's son, Mohammad, tweeted: “My sister has thankfully given birth. May her and the baby be blessed and live in peace and harmony. Rejoice Mohammad's father (referring to Fadel), you're now a grandfather.”

Fadel, who is wanted by Lebanese authorities for murdering two Lebanese soldiers, is currently on the run.

Shaker turned into a jihadist supporter of the Salafist sheikh Ahmad al-Assir a few years ago, causing astonishment among fans and celebs alike.
