SIDON, Lebanon: Unidentified assailants fired Tuesday at a witness into the case of the1999 assassination of four magistrates in the southern coastal city of Sidon.
Attorney Salem Salim and his family miraculously survived a fatal attack after unknown assassins fired around 30 bullets at Salim’s home in the village of Dhour al-Sarafand. The slugs penetrated the walls of Salim’s home and destroyed some of the children’s bedroom windows, according to security sources.
Salim, 39, his wife Nisreen, and his daughters Sandra, 6, and Serena, 2, miraculously survived the attack, which according to Salim was a dangerous but unclear message as he had no personal problems or enemies.
Salim, who is a survivor of the assassination that killed four of Sidon’s judges in 1999, said: “I don’t rule out the possibility that the attack against me is connected to the case of the assassination of the four judges, as there is currently no other explanation.”
