Wissam Eid (Arabic: وسام عيد; 2 October 1976 – 25 January 2008) was a Lebanese police officer and senior intelligence official.
Eid was born 2 October 1976 in Deir Ammar, near Tripoli in northern Lebanon.
The son of an officer in the Lebanese Internal Security Forces (ISF), he studied in Tripoli, then obtained an engineering diploma in computer information systems from the University of Balamand in 1999.
[1][2] According to the German news magazine Der Spiegel, the evidence implicating Hezbollah which Eid uncovered, involved a number of cellphones purchased in Tripoli shortly before the assassination.
[3][4] Eid was assassinated himself before the conclusion of the investigation,[4] though his work contributed greatly to the inquiry of the 2015 Special Tribunal of Lebanon.
