Military Investigative Judge Fadi Sawan on Thursday requested hard labor for life for Mahmoud Mohammad Hayek, who was tried in absentia for attempting to assassinate Lebanese March 14 MP Boutros Harb.
Sawan also issued an arrest warrant against Hayek, who remains at large.
In July of last year, Harb was targeted in an apparent assassination bid after an “intruder” wielding a knife was apprehended by security guards in the MP’s office. That same day, two explosives detonators were found in the building Harb’s office is in.
