Gunmen robbed a bank in al-Damour region on Thursday morning, succeeding in escaping with an undisclosed sum of money, reported the National News Agency.

The four masked gunmen, riding a grey B.M.W. X5 with tinted windows, broke into Federal Bank of Lebanon in al-Damour and robbed it through the force of arms.

They then fled the scene.

Voice of Lebanon radio later reported that they made off with L.L.100 million.

Security forces soon arrived at the bank and launched an investigation in the crime.

Seriously.. this is getting ridiculous..
I've been living abroad for more than 8 years now, and all I can dream of is reading good news about Lebanon, what goes on in these people's minds??
Btw isn't it the same car used when these random guys murdered a guy for a scooter or something? The ones shot on the security cam.
It's just so saddening to have to read news like that on daily basis, there's no love of the nation, no respect for anything or anyone, no nothing..
Obsession over religions, money and power, so much filth it hurts to watch..
One can only hope to see the one day people worthy of this Nation inhabit it.

you are right Ram (Guest) but im sure the country your in has much more crime. i live in australia ,and there are low lifes bashing 80+ year old people in there homes or on the street over 20 dollars (example).. All the kids and large amount of adults are "cooked" on drugs" . i love australia and lebanon,but i lived in lebanon from 2005-2010,and they were the best 5 years of my life so far. lebanese people are the best when you take away politics and provide basic resources or jobs for them.

Let's build a network of HD CCTV cameras in every street and road of Lebanon. Criminals would no longer be able to hide...

If it's controlled by the state/municipalities then I agree 100%

Hizbushaitan refused the installation of CCV cameras in Beirut, and we all know why :)

Thumb geha 14 June 2012, 17:10

to the blind FT:
right after the blast that killed rafic hariri, the beirut municipality wanted to install cctv cameras in the whole of the beirut area, and hizbushaitan refused categorically. these are facts you can check in the annals of that period in all newspapers.
