- Call it an update. Twelve hours ago, a shot rang out
near the goodbye ceremony for French President Nicolas Sarkozy at Ben Gurion
Airport.
-
-
- The band had just started up its loud farewell repertoire.
At the moment Sarkozy, President Peres and Prime Minister Olmert clasped
hands in unity for the cameras, a shot was heard. If anyone thought this
was an assassination, security went out the window. Instead of jumping
on their leaders, security rushed them to their cars and plane. Sarkozy
was a wide-open target as he climbed to his plane.
-
-
- But then the truth was learned. At the moment that
the band began and the leaders shook hands for the cameras, a clever longtime
soldier assigned to an elite Border Guard unit, thought, great time to
kill myself. And just when he was in perfect position; 100 yards from the
ceremony with a 400 yard range rifle, on a roof, with the politicians in
his sites! Darn.
-
-
- Plus, he didn't just choose the right moment to
die noticed, his dying post was perfect. If he shot himself from a roof,
maybe he could arrange for his body to fall off the roof, too. And best
of all for the full drama, he decided to kill himself in front of his,
"guarding partner," and two women soldiers who fainted and were
taken to the hospital. Now, we have seen Israeli woman soldiers after countless
ghastly, hideous terror acts, where their sense of duty prevents open shows
of revulsion. They don't faint. But today, TWO female soldiers fainted
at the same moment and required hospital treatment, which would include
terrifying scenarios of what would happen if they opened their mouths.
-
-
- You see, the entire media was removed from the airport
as soon as the shot was fired. No pesky "Kempler" films, which
revealed the Shin Bet's role in the Rabin murder, would suddenly appear,
exposing the murderers, maybe this time for good. The eye-witnesses just
needed coaching under duress.
-
-
- Now if I was investigating this latest incident,
suspect number one would be the victim's partner. However, I know from
my Rabin expose, the coverup has already begun in earnest. All relevant
physical and ballistic will be rigged to suit the crime and the eye-witnesses
will become quiet, like the Rabin family.
-
-
- I admit, this is early in the game, but still, from
what you know about suicide, would anyone really kill himself on the job,
without a note? Would he really wait for them to strike up the band to
cover his shot? Some attention seeker. He shoots himself just as Peres,
Olmert and Sarkozy are hand-hugging, but makes sure the band covers up
the act.
-
-
- There is nothing conclusive here. Just the proper
balance of suspicion and intelligence so you take the official explanations
with a hugely delicious special double grain of salt.

-
- A border policeman shot himself dead on Tuesday 200 meters
from where French President Nicolas Sarkozy was getting ready to board
a plane ending his trip to Israel.
-
-
- Bodyguards that heard the shot over the music being played
by a band feared it may have been an assassination attempt, and rushed
Sarkozy into the plane alongside his wife Carla Bruni, who ran up the stairs
ahead of her husband.
-
-
- Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and President Shimon Peres,
who came to bid farewell to the French president, were hurried into their
bullet-proof vehicles until the origin of the gunshot could be determined.
-
-
- Shin Bet security service officials immediately ran toward
where they had heard the shot, and found the border policeman, who was
positioned on top of a building, lying on the ground below.
-
-
- 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.
- 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.

-
- Airport spokeswoman, Ronit Ekstein, ordered the full
media removed, though the police did not object to media scrutiny.

-
- After the gunshot was heard, security forces began searching
for the shooter, who was found lying on the ground. A security officer
who witnessed the shooting recounted the incident to the police.
-
- Officer's family: He didn't commit suicide
-
- The dead Border Guard officer was identified as Raid
Asaad Ghanan, 32, of the Druze village of Beit Jan. his family members
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."
-
-
- The officer's father, Asaad Ghanan, said that his son
had left the house on Tuesday morning in good spirits.
-
-
- "He had a family, he had friends, he had plans for
the future and had no reason to commit suicide," the father said.
-
-
- Naif, Raid's brother, said that the police representatives
who informed the family of their son's death, had told them that the circumstances
of the incidents were unclear and would be probed by an investigating officer.
-
-
- "It is unthinkable that my brother took his own
life. We believe this was an accident, or even an incident in which my
brother was accidentally shot by one of the security officials in the area."

-
-
- There were reports the border policeman, unnamed as yet,
shot himself in the head as he stood about 100 yards from the VIP party
as part of the guard of honour while a military band played.
-
-
- Two female Israeli soldiers were reported to have fainted
at the sight but apart from that there were no other casualties.
-
-
- "This was in no way an assassination attempt,"
police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. "A border policeman committed
suicide during the farewell ceremony."
-
-
- According to Rosenfeld, the guard who shot himself was
a paramilitary policeman and had been assigned to a security patrol at
the airport.

-
-
- Peres, Olmert and Sarkozy had just clasped hands as the
shot rang out.
-
-
- The victim's guarding partner was found by the Shin Bet,
huddled over the body. He gave testimony to the police.

-
- The incident took place as French President Nicolas Sarkozy
boarded a flight back to Paris, concluding a three-day visit to the region.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and President Shimon Peres had accompanied Sarkozy
to the airport. A military band greeted the leaders, and a picture-perfect
ceremony commenced, marking the end of an important state visit seen by
many as symbolizing the increasingly warm relations between Jerusalem and
Paris.
- Suicide was the likely cause of death for the border
policeman - struck by his own bullet while guarding the departure ceremony,
a border police spokesman said.
-
- BUT THE POST'S READERS WERE HAVING NONE OF IT!
-
- 49. Suicide, my foot. This explanation sounds like a
cover-up, as suicides don't usually take place in wide, open spaces nor
- near a large crowd & certainly not by a security
guard. Suicides usually take place when no one's around, in empty houses
& far from the madding crowd. Now we hear that the dead man was a Druse
border policeman, that he fell off the rooftop where he was on guard &
his rifle went off accidentally. So accidentally (but 'accurately' it seems)that
a bullet hit him in a way that made his accidental fall look like a suicide.
Wow,how convenient. So what was it - an accident or a suicide? Or something
else? If it was 'something else',wanna bet we'll never know what - or who
the shot was really for?
-
- 46. Come on now!! What is the REAL story here??
- This is the craziest damn story I have ever heard! It
makes absolutely now sense. Almost as bad as the Bush Admin propaganda
in America!

-
- 26. This is not the whole story
- I am sure this is not the whole story... There is just
too much oddness. The initial scenario played out by the press is in no
way trustworthy, so hold your judgments until the facts come out...
