A Suicide al a Abu Nidal suicide

A Syrian worker was found dead from hanging in the Biqa` in Lebanon. New TV said that he was found hanging from a "wool scarf" with his hands tied behind his back. Lebanese police ruled it a "suicide". Apparently, the man beat himself mercilessly, and then tied his hands behind his back, yelled some racist anti-Syrian slogans at himself, before he went on to hang himself. So was the investigation of the Lebanese police.

PS You may remember how the Iraqi mukhabarat head (Habbush, who we discovered in Suskind's recent book had been working for the Americans) announced the "suicide" of Abu Nidal. He reported the details: that Abu Nidals mercilessly tortured himself, and then went on to shoot himself with an AK 47 43 times...in the back. He then moved his own body from the bedroom to the living room.
