Taken from Massira article posted on LF Martyrs site.

Riad Mounir Abi Khattar was shot dead by Marada armed men on Tuesday 23rd while he was heading with his comrads from the LF office in Batroun. This is the third LFer in two years shot by Marada and as Pierre quoted, an LF responsible in Batroun, will be the last time we allow Frangieh thugs to harm our comrads here.

His brother was next to him when Riad was trying to save an injured Lfer and got shot in the head. The army surrounded the LF office after that instead of going after the killers.

Here is a small resume on Riad Abi Khattar’s life.

Born in 1969 in Jebla Batroun, he has one brother and 3 sisters, one of his sisters died few months ago from a certain sickness. His father was buried one week before he got killed, after suffering from severe injuries in the head caused by Syrians who had kidnapped him for a whole year during their rule in Lebanon.

He was married but his wife also was taken away cause of a fatal sickness.

He was known to be a polite and committed LFer always serving his family and his friends and most importantly his Cause.

He is the village’s 2nd martyr after Bassem Sarkis who died during the Ilgha war

May He Rest in peace.

    May his soul rest in Peace.

    We don’t want to see anymore guys from Lebanese Forces dying. Enough is Enough. People who did it should be punished and should be brought to Justice. This is not the first time Marada militia kills guys From Lebanese Forces . I hope this will be the last time. We want unity between christians but we don’t accept what happened.

    They are criminals.
