State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr charged
on Thursday members of the Syrian army for killing al-Jadeed TV cameraman Ali
Shaaban in the northern area of Wadi Khaled two months ago.
Saqr also charged the unknown soldiers with the attempted murder
of Shaaban’s colleagues, reporter Hussein Khreiss and cameraman Abed Khayyat,
after opening fire on them from the Syrian side of the border near Wadi Khaled
on April 9.
The three men were hit with a volley of machine gunfire that
al-Jadeed said was intentional.
But Syria blamed a clash between Syrian border guards and “armed
terrorist groups” for Shaaban’s killing, saying the crew happened to be in the
area where the fighting took place.
Shaaban’s killing sparked widespread condemnation across Lebanon
with the March 14 forces calling for the summoning of Syrian Ambassador to
Lebanon Ali Abdul Karim Ali.
