0Habib Tanious Shartouni (Arabic: حبيب الشرتوني; born 24 April 1958) is a Lebanese Maronite Christian militant and convicted assassin of Bachir Gemayel, the Lebanese president[1] and leader of the Lebanese Forces, on 14 September, 1982.[2][3] A member of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), Shartouni placed a bomb in the Kataeb Party headquarters in Beirut, where Gemayel was meeting with party members. His motive was in his opposition to Gemayel's policies, which were seen at the time as aligned with Israel, which was viewed as a challenge[4] of Pan-Syrian and Arab interests.
