Tent City Militiamen Attack Restaurant Clients

MP Atef Majdalani on Monday accused militiamen deployed at the Hizbullah-controlled Tent City in downtown Beirut of attacking with daggers clients at a nearby restaurant wounding some of them.

 

Majdalani, in a statement, said the restaurant clients were attacked Saturday evening by “militiamen based in the tents.”

 

The victims, according to Majdalani, sought police help but were told the area is off limits to law enforcing agencies.
