KFC Outlet in Nabatiyeh Comes Under Machinegun Fire
Unknown assailants opened fire from their machineguns on a KFC restaurant in Nabatiyeh at dawn Wednesday, causing material damage, media reports said.
The drive-by shooting took place at 3:30 am, they said.
The Army Intelligence immediately cordoned off the area and launched an investigation, the reports added.
The incident was most likely linked to the attack on another KFC restaurant in the northern city of Tripoli last Friday when an an angry crowd of Islamists set fire to the U.S. fast-food chain's outlet.
After setting the restaurant alight, the demonstrators tried to attack a Burger King outlet but army troops prevented them.
A demonstrator was killed and 25 people hurt in the clashes with police during the protest against a U.S.-made film that mocks Islam.
