Monarch strongly
condemns ‘heinous crime'
His Majesty King Abdullah condemned the "heinous crime” of the assassination of
Lebanese Christian Cabinet Minister Pierre Gemayel, in telephone calls with
Prime Minister Fuad Siniora and Saad Hariri, the Jordan News Agency, Petra,
said. The King said the "cowardly crime” targeted the country's security and
stability, urging Lebanese to “close ranks”, and not to allow attempts aimed at
provoking divisions to succeed. He stressed Jordan's support for Lebanon in
“these difficult circumstances.”
