Assailants Open Fire on Sheikh Abbas Zgheib's Vehicle
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Police on Friday inspected the car of Sheikh Abbas Zgheib after he claimed that assailants fired on it in Beirut's southern suburbs overnight, the state-run National News Agency reported.
NNA said officers from the Mraijeh police station and forensic experts inspected his Nissan Sunny and took two bullets that had penetrated the rear window and landed on the back seat.
Zgheib rose to prominence in 2013 when he was tasked by the Higher Islamic Shiite Council to follow up the case of the abducted Lebanese pilgrims in Syria's Aazaz area.
The pilgrims were released in October of that year.
According to NNA, the sheikh told police that the car came under fire while it was parked near the building where he resides in Mraijeh.
No one was injured in the attack, he said.
Zgheib later told Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) that the case is now in the hands of the judiciary.
In January last year, the sheikh was accidentally wounded when an armed dispute erupted in al-Laylaki area in Beirut's southern suburbs.

The security forces will hopefully arrest those who shot at Sheikh Abbas' car.
It is a real shame to read such sectarian comments on this forum.

I would not call it a wasted bullet on Aoun. It will deliver Lebanon from a lunatic

Imagine Republicans talking about Obama the same way you are talking about Aoun or UMP members about Holland or Labour about Cameron?
If you write these violent comments what do you leave to those thugs with weapons? Haven't you learned a thing from our civil war? Shame on you!

It is more like he rose to prominence after he orchestrated the kidnapping of the Turkish pilots. Terrorist who should be eliminated..
