Lebanese TV anchor sued for forecasting death

A Lebanese minister has sued a TV news anchor after she said on air that he could be the next politician to be killed. The NBN channel presenter, Sawsan Darweesh, was talking about last week's bomb blast that killed anti-Syrian lawmaker Walid Eido when she unwittingly said that sports minister Ahmad Fatfat would be next. She has since been fired. Fatfat said "I sued because there was an incitement and a call to an assassination on a media outlet." (Via Gulf Times/ Reuters)
