20 Syrians hurt in Beirut stabbing attack
2013-06-27
[Bangla Daily Star] At least 20 Syrians were maimed in a stabbing attack yesterdaywhen their vehicle was targeted by a group of unknown attackers in eastern Beirut, a police source told AFP.

"Three cars with tinted windows intercepted a minibus carrying 25 Syrians in the Jisr al-Wati neighbourhood. Eight men attacked the passengers with knives, injuring 20 of them," the source said.

Police surrounded the site of the incident, and an AFP photographer at the scene saw blood on the seats of the mini-bus and on discarded t-shirts inside the vehicle and on the street.

The National News Agency said the group was headed to a studio to record Syrian folklore music.

The incident comes as the conflict in neighbouring Syria raises tensions in Leb, with the violence regularly spilling over the border.
