Assailant of UAE Charge d'affaires in Damascus arrested
2005-09-21
A man who opened fire at the Charge d'affaires at the UAE embassy in Damascus earlier on Monday was arrested. The Charge d'affaires Hamad Al-Juneibi who reported the news to KUNA said that security authorities started questioning of the assailant.
"Oooch! Ouch! Ouch! Ooch! I'll talk?"
"About what?"
Al-Juneibi confirmed earlier reported that he escaped unscathed and that only his car was damaged in the shooting. He said the motives of the attack were still unknown. Asked about rumors that the attacker was a Syrian national and that the shooting was in protest to a previous decision by UAE authorities to deport him from the Gulf state, the Charge D'affaires said this is indeed the result of initial investigations but added "this is has not been confirmed yet."
Losing a bit of iron-fisted control, is Baby Assad?
