King extends condolences
to former Lebanese president Amin Gemayel
His Majesty King Abdullah on Wednesday called former Lebanese president Amin
Gemayel to extend his sympathies over the death of his son, Pierre, the Lebanese
minister of industry who was assassinated in Beirut on Tuesday. The King renewed
his condemnation of the crime, which, he said, was aimed at destablising the
security and stability of Lebanon. The King said Jordan stands by the Lebanese
people in their fight against terrorist attacks. The Cabinet also condemned the
assassination in their Wednesday meeting.
