Shafik Al-Wazzan (Arabic: شفيق الوزان, January 16, 1925 – July 8, 1999) was a Lebanese politician who served as the 27th Prime Minister of Lebanon from 1980 until 1984. In December 1991, Wazzan was wounded when a car bomb exploded in the Beirut neighborhood of Basta Al Fouka (where he lived) as he was passing through in an armored car.^[1]

Biography

After political strife had left Lebanon without a government for 137 days, Wazzan was urged into office.^[2] He oversaw the withdrawal of Palestinian guerillas from Beirut in 1982.

Wazzan died in 1999 at the age of 74. He was survived by a son (Dr. Wassim Al Wazzan) and a daughter.
