[An Nahar] Unknown gunnies shot a resident of the 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...
district of Jabal Mohsen on Friday evening, in an assault that is likely linked to the wave of sectarianly motivated attacks that has rocked the city in recent months.
"Omran Suleiman was shot in the legs on al-Mallouleh road in Tripoli," OTV reported.
But LBCI television said the shooting occurred in the Tripoli neighborhood of Bab al-Tabbaneh.
It added that Suleiman "hails from Jabal Mohsen and was rushed to a hospital in Zgharta" for treatment.
More than 22 attacks have targeted Jabal Mohsen residents in several areas of Tripoli in recent months.
On Tuesday, two men were assaulted after their car entered Jabal Mohsen, a day after a resident of the neighborhood was stabbed and beaten up in nearby al-Qobbeh.
