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:
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
