إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Occupants of two vehicles robbed $254,000 and 60,000 euros from two men in Beirut’s southern suburbs as they were transporting the money in their car, the National News Agency reported Friday.

NNA said that Hussein Mohammed Srour and Ali Mustafa Srour filed a complaint to police claiming that two vehicles with tinted windows – a Murano and a BMW X5 without license plates – intercepted them at around 2:00 am in Haret Hreik and snatched from their car a red bag that contained the money.

The robbers did not harm the two men and didn’t steal their vehicle, they said, adding however that they forgot to steal another bag containing $216,000, 10,000 euros and 2,300 Swiss Francs.

The victims claimed that they had received the currencies at Rafik Hariri international airport and were transporting them on behalf of a money transfer company.

NNA said that the movement of the two men could have been monitored.

Thats why we dont want weapons under anyone's control but the state. If the thieves are caught, I'll take back my statement.

Freedom of speech should be applied by Naharnet....I mean the sectarian comments that reflects nonsense has nothing to do with the freedom of speech since it's pure insults to our values and logic...
