Assassination Attempt
Following an attempt to assassinate fellow March 14 movement member and head of Lebanese Forces Samir Geagea, In early July 2012 Harb escaped an attempt to assassinate him, which a government official said was "part of a series of assassination attempts" against Lebanese politicians. It also followed Harb's comments that he had been warned by Lebanese security forces that they had found "bomb detonators in a lift" at his Beirut office.

Famous quotes containing the word attempt:
“Death is too much for men to bear, whereas women, who are practiced in bearing the deaths of men before their own and who are also practiced in bearing life, take death almost in stride. They go to meet death—that is, they attempt suicide—twice as often as men, though men are more “successful” because they use surer weapons, like guns.”
—Roger Rosenblatt (b. 1940)
