A member of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), Shartouni placed a bomb in the Kataeb Party headquarters in Beirut, where Gemayel was meeting with party members. His motive was in his opposition to Gemayel's policies, which were seen at the time as aligned with Israel, which was viewed as against Arab interests.
