A bizarre series of events that seem like they are taken right out of an action movie.<\/p>
Yesterday, a citizen took dozens hostage at BBAC<\/a> bank in Jib Jenine, Bekaa. The citizen, who was later identified as Abdallah Al-Sahi from the town of Kefraya, came to the bank asking to withdraw $50,000 from his account. When his request was rejected, he brandished a weapon and a grenade, proceeding to pour gasoline on the floor and threatening detonate. He was then given his money which he handed over to a relative before handing himself in.<\/p> Late last night, the Bekaa’s Public Prosecutor Barakat instructed security forces to seize the $50,000 sum that was withdrawn, instantly prompting outrage.<\/p> (@Lebdepositors) January 18, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
