في بلدة شعت في البقاع الشمالي يستريح محمد اليوم تحت التراب. كان على مسافة قريبة من الإحتفال بعيد ميلاده الثالث والأربعين عندما انقطع به جسر الحياة فجأة.rd birthday when he was killed in a massive explosion.
لم يكمل محمد دراسته الجامعية. تنقل في وظائف عدّة، قبل أن يستقر في شركة تعنى بتفريغ وتحميل المستوعبات في مرفأ بيروت. شغل منصب نائب مدير العمليات فيها.
He met his coworker Christiane Khoury and they fell in love at first sight. Christiane’s father disapproved of their love story and stood against their marriage. Mohamad tried restlessly to change his mind, but it was impossible… Mohamad and Christiane declared their revolution against outdated traditions and tied the knot.
Christiane’s father was only angry for four days, he discovered qualities in Mohamad that every father would wish to find in his son in law, and he invited the newlyweds to live with him in his house.
On August 4, Christiane left to work early in the morning while Mohamad was still asleep; he was on the afternoon’s shift. She dropped her kids Cynthia an Alexis at the nursery and reported to her post.
في الخامسة والنصف بعد الظهر، اتصلت كريستيان بزوجها وهي خارجة من عملها واشتكت من زحمة السير، طالبة منه التوجه لأخذ الطفلين من الحضانة. لم يجار محمد زوجته في طلبها فهو كان قد تأخر عن دوام عمله، ذهب الى المرفأ، فوقع الانفجار الكبيرهناك، دون أي خبر عن محمد.
عشرة ايام قضتها أفراد عائلة محمد في البحث عنه في المستشفيات، حتى انهم وصلوا في بحثهم الى مستشفيات دمشق، بعد اخبار وردت أن بعض الجرحى تم نقلهم إلى هناك للعلاج.
On the third day, they identified a dead corpse at the American University of Beirut Medical Center, and thought it was Mohamad. They were shocked to receive a call from the French embassy, while on their way to the Bekaa to prepare their son’s funeral, telling them that the body belonged to a French national, and asked them to return it. They looked carefully at the corpse, and indeed it wasn’t Mohamad. They were hopeful, again, that he might be alive somewhere. But a DNA test for an unidentified dead body, confirmed his death. He was kept in a body bag outside the morgue of Al-Zahraa Hospital. His brother could not believe the DNA results, and he requested they repeat them twice to prove it was Mohamad.
