Report: Leaflets Attacking al-Rahi Seized from Palestinian Extremists
Palestinian extremists were caught carrying fliers attacking Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi for the purpose of distributing them in some Lebanese regions, Ad-Diyar daily reported Wednesday.
The newspaper said a moderate Palestinian official caught the Salafists at a Palestinian refugee camp.
The fliers are signed by an incognito group called the “Hawks of Qoreish” and say al-Rahi “wants to regain the project of Patriarch Elias Hwayyek and establish a Christian state.”
The leaflets also say that Hwayyek had informed Lebanese Christians residing in the U.S. that Bkirki was ready to cover all the expenses of their return to Lebanon and help them find jobs and housing.
