Shots fired at UAE Damascus envoy
2005-09-22
ABU DHABI — Hamad Al Junaibi, the UAE charge d’affaires in Damascus, escaped unhurt yesterday when shots were fired at his car. The culprit has been arrested and is being interrogated by the Syrian authorities, a Wam report said.
Does he get the full #7 treatment or just a love tap, inquiring minds want to know.
The report, quoting Abdullah Rashid Al Nuaimi, UAE’s Foreign Ministry Under-Secretary, said the man “fired shots at Al Junaibi’s car when he was leaving the embassy building in Damascus”. The diplomat didn’t receive any injury, but the car was damaged as a result of the shooting, the report said.

Al Nuaimi said a team from the ministry has been rushed to Damascus to continue the investigations into the incident. All aspects will be looked into except those that the Syrians won't let them see.
