Two Injured in Clash over 'Rifi's Posters' in el-Mina

Two people were injured Sunday as a personal dispute erupted into gunfire in the Tripoli district of el-Mina, state-run National News Agency reported.

“Sh. B. and B. B. were wounded and transferred to hospital for treatment,” NNA said.

Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) meanwhile said “the army managed to contain a clash in Tripoli's el-Mina between Firas al-Ali and Shadi al-Badawi.”

It said al-Ali was detained by the army while al-Badawi was rushed to the Islamic Hospital.

LBCI television said “the clash broke out after pictures of (Justice) Minister (Ashraf) Rifi were torn up, which prompted one of his supporters to fire gunshots.”
