Syria has strongly deplored the assassination of the former secretary general of the Lebanese communist party George Hawi by bowing up of his car in Beirut on Tuesday, considering that "this falls in the course of repeated damages behind which the enemies of Lebanon stand."

The Syrian minister of information Mahdi Dakhlallah expressed his regret over the assassinations of Lebanese figures, acts which undermine Lebanon's stability and security, he said.

The Syrian minister also commended Hawi's resistance of the Israeli aggression and his struggle for the sake of Lebanon's unity and "its national reconciliation and the fraternal and historical relations linking it to Syria."

He also stressed Syria's continued care to maintain social peace and security in Lebanon and organizing the Lebanese internal affairs without foreign intervention.

The Lebanese President Emil Lahoud questioned the objective of dispatching bloody messages, just few hours on the end if the Lebanese elections which "brought back confidence to Lebanon and its people."
