Sheikh Maher Hammoud
Sheikh Maher Hammoud, the Imam of Quds mosque in the southern city of Sidon, said Monday that assailants opened fire on him while he was heading for prayers but he escaped unscathed.

This is not the first time the Sunni cleric was subjected to an attack. Last April a group of men harassed him in Sidon , shots were fired which led to the wounding of two of his bodyguards according a to a police report.

Update  1 : The security forces found the car which was used in the assassination attempt against sheikh Maher Hammoud. It is a Toyota, MTV reported

Update 2: MTV also reported that  the security forces arrested the owner of the Toyota used in the attack on Sheikh Hammoud. He was not identified

 

Update 3:  Sheikh  Hammoud told Voice of Lebanon radio (100.5) that the assailants fired around 20 rounds from a passing vehicle after he went out of his house in Quds square to head for prayers. Hammoud  who is closely associated with Hezbollah hinted that “sympathizers with the Syrian opposition could be behind” the assassination attempt.

Hezbollah fighters  have been helping the Syrian  regime in its crackdown against the Syrian opposition  who are seeking to topple the embattled Syrian president  Bashar al Assad . Over 150 Hezbollah fighters have reportedly been killed during the past few months in Syria

    One assumes he ‘went to ground’ like Geagea did.
    AND reporters have again been assaulted in Tripoli by people who don’t like what reporters do. One group surrounded a woman reporter’s house because she wrote an article about Salafis … army had to come in again on that too. LBC had a film crew attacked for trying to show weekend events of fires and shootings … the Reporter’s Union getting ticked off for sure.
    There are definitely people who want war inside Lebanon.

      Come on 5th gagea didnt go to ground he was picking a flower for his lovely wife….On a serious note looks like the takfiris are trying to stir sectarianism in the south….theyve already achieved this in the north…the political leaders have no weight in the north any more its all controlled on the ground now….I think they are still wiser in the south and hopefully will not get sucked into it….takfiris will kill anyone not like them or following them including sunnis.

    I just want to understand how come he has bodyguards? this is very surprising for a religious man to have, unless he is running a mob
