إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A man was killed and two others were injured on Wednesday in an ambush set up by army intelligence agents for the fugitive Ahmed Omar al-Solh, the driver of Sheikh Orfan Maarabouni who is being held by the Syrian regime, state-run National News Agency reported.
“An exchange of gunfire erupted as the army chased the fugitive A. O. Al-Solh, 31, who hails from Majdal Anjar and was driving a Mercedes, and another called I. Abu Maayleq, who was driving a black Chrysler SUV," NNA said.
"Solh was killed when his car collided into a wall for the BAU university's branch in Taanayel," the agency added.
A passerby identified as Samir Shehahadeh was also accidentally wounded in the incident, according to the agency.
“At once, an army patrol cordoned off the incident scene and arrested the second fugitive Abu Maayleq,” NNA added.
Meanwhile, OTV noted that Ibrahim Abu Maayleq is a Syrian national as NNA said he is the son-in-law of Sheikh Maarabouni.

the article was edited since i commented, it had names mixed up and wasnt clear. but glad it wasnt.
as for family names, you should know better than make such assumptions, not all people who are named "hariri" are rich for instance.

mowaten of asfhan, i thought you always said you did not care about the votes. When you get 40 and 50 votes for some stupid comment you make I don't see you complain. It seems you care more than you pretend. I am sure it eats at you because you are one self centered egotist.

If they actually set up an ambush in some public street or residential area, then whoever was in charge of the operation should see a few months in jail at the least. I sure hope the one killed was not an innocent bystander.
