Assassination of Pierre Amine Gemayel

2006 murder in Beirut, Lebanon

On 21 November 2006, Pierre Amine Gemayel, the Lebanese minister of Industry and member of parliament, was shot fatally by three unknown gunmen allegedly linked to the SSNP. The motive for the attack was Gemayel's opposition to Syria's 29 year occupation of Lebanon. He had been an essential part of the Cedar Revolution, which drove the Syrian Arab Armed Forces out of Lebanon.
