Fouad Boutros

Fouad Boutros (Arabic: فؤاد بطرس; 5 November 1917 in Achrafieh – 4 January 2016) was a Lebanese politician and diplomat.[1] He held several cabinet posts in the 1960s and 1970s.

Political career

[edit]

He was first elected member of the Parliament of Lebanon in the 1960 Lebanese general election to one of the Greek Orthodox posts for Beirut.[2] Boutros served as defense minister two times: in 1966 and from 1976 to 1978.[3] He was appointed deputy prime minister in 1966, in 1968 and 1976-1982.[2] He was the minister of foreign affairs in the period between 1976 and 1982.[4][5]

Assassination attempt

[edit]

On 1 November 1978, at the Saint Nicholas Church crossing in Achrafieh, Kataeb Regulatory Forces (KRF) militiamen ambushed the motorcade of the Defense and Foreign Affairs Minister Fouad Boutros, escorted by a commando detachment from the Counter-sabotage regiment (Arabic: Moukafaha). Four commandos were wounded and several others taken prisoner, including the commander of the escort, Lieutenant Kozhayya Chamoun, who subsequently disappeared without a trace while on KRF custody. The ambush was carried out in retaliation for the death of the pro-Phalangist Captain Samir el-Achkar, leader of the dissident Lebanese Army Revolutionary Command (LARC) and a close friend of Bashir Gemayel, during a raid by the Moukafaha commandos on his headquarters at Mtaileb in the Matn District earlier that same day.[6]
