Gunmen Steal Al-Jadeed's SNG Vehicle in Tripoli

Al-Jadeed television on Friday announced that gunmen stole its Satellite News Gathering vehicle in the northen city of Tripoli.

In June 2012, gunmen attacked al-Jadeed’s headquarters in the Beirut neighborhood of Wata el-Msaytbeh, opening fire on the building, hurling Molotov bombs and setting fire to tires.

Tripoli has been the scene of near-daily unrest since the Syrian uprising began two years ago. Gunmen torched several Syria-bound fuel tankers on Thursday and Friday as an Energa rifle-fired grenade landed between the rival districts of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen.

In January 2011, frenzied demonstrators torched an Al-Jazeera van in Tripoli while protesting the toppling of Saad Hariri's government.
