Two armed men briefly
set free a prisoner who was being transported in a police vehicle to a hospital
in Beirut but their plot failed and the suspects escaped, the National News
Agency reported on Thursday.
It said the patrol was
transferring the prisoner from Rafik Hariri University Hospital to al-Hayat
hospital when two men identified as Fawzi Sh. and Ahmed Q. pointed their guns
at the officers and whisked the man in a black Kia.
But the patrol chased
the suspects and rearrested the prisoner after exchanging fire with them in the
area of the Kuwaiti embassy, NNA said.
The two men escaped
however after leaving behind their vehicle.
As for the prisoner, he was
hospitalized in al-Hayat with several guards outside his room, NNA added.http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/48699
