Hezbollah accuses Jumblatt supporters of abducting, killing 3 of its members

BEIRUT, May 10 (KUNA) -- Hezbollah on Saturday accused supporters of the Lebanese Progressive Socialist Party Leader Walid Jumblatt of kidnapping three members of the party and the execution of two of them in the Aley Mount in Lebanon.
Hezbollah's Media Relations in a statement this afternoon said "elements belonging to Walid Jumblatt's 'militia' in Aley had abducted three members of Hezbollah, where they executed two of them by shooting them and stabbing them with knives and dumping their bodies in front of Faith Hospital in the city of Aley, while the third's fate is still unknown." The statement, which described the act as a "monstrous crime" and "very serious in content, significance and implications," held Jumblatt personal responsibility for the fate of the third person, who is believed to be still abducted.
