'Missing' Soldier Shows Up Late to Work after Family Blocks South Highway
A soldier whose relatives blocked the only highway connecting the capital to southern Lebanon on Monday to protest his “disappearance” has showed up one day too late for work, state-run National News Agency reported.
“He had been missing from his home since yesterday morning over personal reasons,” NNA said.
A group of young men from Barja, the hometown of Lebanese army soldier Ali Ibrahim Ghosh, blocked the highway near the Jadra intersection in both directions a day after he went missing, the agency said earlier on Monday.
Lebanese army units later reopened the highway.
But while the residents were blocking the road, a speeding BMW hit four people identified as Ayad al-Khatib, Salem Hamiyeh, Mohammed Damaj and Mohammed Terro, NNA said.
They were slightly injured, it added.
