| One Person Wounded in Tripoli Sniper Fire |
| 2013-07-01 |
| [An Nahar] Intermittent sniper fire left one person injured in the northern city of Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... on Sunday, the state-run National News Agency reported. It said Mohammed Abdo Ibrahim, a resident of the neighborhood of Jabal Mohsen, was maimed in the leg when sniper fire between the area and al-Baqqar broke out. The attack led to tension in the other trouble spots in the city despite a calm, NNA said. It also limited traffic in the different areas that regularly witness festivities, the agency added. The Lebanese army command said a soldier died on Sunday morning after he succumbed to injuries he had sustained in festivities in Tripoli. It did not specify when he was maimed. Tripoli regularly suffers from deadly gunbattles linked to the fighting in Syria. The Alawite neighborhood of Jabal Mohsen backs Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad One of the last of the old-fashioned hereditary iron-fisted fascist dictators... while the mainly Sunni Bab al-Tabbaneh supports the revolution against him. |
