Was the incident that marred Sarkozy’s exit a suicide or assassination try?
Posted by: admin in UncategorizedFull story at: israelinsider
The Israeli media dutifully reported the official account that exactly at that most opportune moment for an assassination, with the band’s music covering the sound of the shot, a veteran soldier in an elite Border Guard unit, of Druse extraction, decided to kill himself. He was reportedly on a roof in line of site from the departure ceremony, 100 yards away and equipped with a rifle with a 400 yard range. Not only did he shoot himself, he fell off the roof. Not an easy feat!From the Daily Telegraph, we learn that the border policeman shot himself in the head with his rifle, also an unnatural task. He was said to have killed himself in front of his “guarding partner,” and two female soldiers, who — the media informed Israelis — fainted and had to be taken to the hospital.
Ynetnews reports that Shin Bet security service officials found the border policeman lying on the ground below, with his “guarding partner” huddled over the body.
The assembled media was whisked away and, remarkably, the subsequent reports were either subdued or suppressed altogether. The midnight news summary of government owned television Channel One did not even report the incident.
There were no subsequent reports from his guarding partner, nor the female soldiers.
One discordant note from the official story came from the family of the Druze soldier who reportedly committed suicide on the job, without a note.
According to Haaretz, “officials soon ruled out the option that he accidentally shot himself before the fall, or that his gun misfired upon impact with the ground, and concluded that he apparently committed suicide using his M-16 rifle, causing him to fall off the building. An autopsy of the body confirmed their conclusion.” The standard issue IDF .223 caliber M-16, while hardly a sniper rifle is definitely capable of hitting targets at a 100 yard range, especially if the shooter is a well-trained veteran.
The victim’s guarding partner was found by the Shin Bet, huddled over the body. He gave testimony to the police.
Border Police officials said the man, a member of the Druze community, had served as a border policeman for eight years since he was discharged from mandatory service in the Israel Defense Forces. The dead officer was identified as Raid Asaad Ghanan, 32, of the Druze village of Beit Jan.
The Druze, a mysterious sect that was an offshot of Islam, are Israeli citizens generally opposed the Palestinians. Within the IDF, they are known as well-disciplined and loyal soldiers. Many serve in the border guard, like Ghanan, who had completed eight years of service.
As reported by ynetnews, His relatives furiously refused to believe that he had committed suicide: “We scornfully reject the claims that our son took his own life,” a family member said. “He was a kindhearted and happy person. He had a family and there was no reason for him to do such a horrible thing.”

I think it was a hit call on olmert.. The Druze guy didn’t go along with it .. he was shot to cover up the whole story .. things will be clear when the Druze guy is re-incornated to tell who killed him and why… end of story .. dirty politics and war games.
