MP Omar Karami has expressed outrage at the judiciary's
verdict against former warlord Samir Geagea. Geagea
was sentenced to death for masterminding the 1987 killing
of Karami's brother, then-Premier Rashid Karami. The
sentence was commuted t o life with hard labor. "I
certainly cannot protest the judiciary's convictions
but I was nevertheless surprised at the sentence",
Karami said at a news conference in Tripoli. Signaling
his disappointment of the verdict, Karami said : "The
blood of Rashid Karami is not only that of my brother,
but that of a former prime minister who ruled and worked
days and nights t o stand up against the conspiracy
aimed at dividing Lebanon and destroying it".
