Naharnet: Fugitive Dead, Another Hurt as Car Tries to Escape Nabaa Checkpoint
A fugitive was killed and another wounded on Monday when security forces opened fire on a car that tried to escape a checkpoint in the Beirut eastern suburb of Nabaa, state-run National News Agency reported.
NNA identified the slain man as Munir Munir Zoaiter and the wounded accomplice as Ali Hatem Zoaiter, saying they were wanted on several arrest warrants for involvement in murder and theft.
The agency said a pistol was found in the car. Internal Security Forces sources, however, told LBC television that the tinted-glass black Chevrolet was loaded with weapons.
NNA said security forces opened fire when the car, which had no front license plate, tried to escape and hit one of the checkpoint members.
