Lebanese man shot dead in Syria |
2005-04-02 |
Unknown assailants in Syria shot dead a Lebanese taxi driver early Friday near both countries' borders, Lebanese security officials said. The motive behind Wael Hammoud's killing was unclear, but it marked the first known act of violence involving a Lebanese citizen in Syria since Syrian soldiers recently began their controversial withdrawal from Lebanon. Some residents of the man's hometown of Majdal Anjar speculated the incident may have been smuggling-related. |
