| [An Nahar] Two bodyguards of a current minister assaulted a man and his sister on the Nahr al-Mot-Zalka road on Tuesday. Witnesses told Naharnet that the assault took place when the bodyguards believed that the man had attempted to block the minister's car with his vehicle. The bodyguards stepped out of the car of ministerial license plate 27, brandished their weapons against the two victims, Farid Jean al-Shaqti and his sister Stephie, and told them that they are members of the Tashnag party. "We're feared throughout the land!" The witnesses said that the guards threw Stephie on the ground as her brother attempted to protect her. The dispute resulted in major traffic in the area. In information obtained by Naharnet, the victims are seeking to file a complaint against the assailants. |
