Judicial Police Seize 3 Bullets Fired at Geagea’s Residence

Judicial police forensics on Friday re-inspected the scene of the failed assassination bid against Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea at his Maarab residence, discovering three sniper bullets fired by the attackers, state-run National News Agency reported.

According to NNA, forensics dismantled a wooden barrier, which allowed them to determine that three shots were fired at the residence – “one that pierced the glass and two whose remains were found in the wooded frame.”

“The first was found at a height of 1.5 meters and the second at a height of one meter,” said the agency, quoting forensics.

“The two aforementioned bullets were seized and will undergo a forensic analysis,” NNA said, noting that “investigations are still ongoing under the supervision of the public prosecutor’s office.”

It was not immediately clear whether the remains belonged to the two bullets exhibited by Geagea during the press conference he held in the wake of the assassination attempt.
