The
Phalange Party of Wednesday labeled "shameful" remarks by opposition MP
Elie Skaff ridiculing the mourning of two victims gunned down in Zahle
by one of his alleged partisans.

"It
is shameful in all humanitarian and ethical standards," the Phalange
Party statement said of a remark by Skaff that the funeral procession
for the Zahle victims was "folklore" practice.

The
party accused Skaff of "desperately defending the criminals, which
raises doubts that he had, at least, advance knowledge of planning the
crime."
