Another Gemayel assassinated in Lebanon, this time the minister of industry Pierre Gemayel.

I don’t know why I have such a clear memory of when his uncle, Bashir, was assassinated in 1982 before taking office as Lebanon’s newly elected president. Maybe it was because it was the same day Grace Kelly died in Monaco. A strange association. All hell broke loose in Lebanon shortly thereafter, and things are similarly tenuous there now.
