A military court sentenced
the two Syrian nationals, George and Michel Tanlian, to death, the National
News Agency reported on Monday.
The two suspects, part of a
gang of five brothers, were accused of killing a Lebanese army officer.
Last year, the Lebanese
security forces arrested the five suspects which were identified by Interior Minister
Marwan Charbel as Michel, Georges, Aziz, Moussa and Maurice Tanlian. The
minister said that they were of Syrian descent, adding that Aziz, Moussa and
Maurice gained Lebanese nationality.
The suspects are accused of
the murder of 11 people, most of them taxi drivers.
