A previous version of this article quoted a security source as saying that Col. Nidal Daou was the one who shot Abou Fakher. In fact, the security source said 1st Adjutant Charbel Ajeil, the junior soldier on the scene, was the one who shot. The Daily Star regrets the error.

Summary

Details of the dispute that led to the killing of Alaa Abou Fakher late Tuesday night have emerged. Abou Fakher, a 38-year-old father of three, was allegedly shot in the head and killed by a member of the Lebanese Army, after he attempted to block a road in Khaldeh, south of Beirut.

The man who allegedly shot Abou Fakher has been identified as Col. Nidal Daou from Bshetfine, Chouf. Daou is a member of the Army's Mount Lebanon Intelligence Branch, according to a security source.

Daou was driving a car in which Charbel Hjeil, also a member of the Army, was a passenger.

This escalated into a verbal argument between Abou Fakher and Daou.
