"I WAS ONE OF THE 2 LEBANESE
So me and hiba were working with these journalists helping them around town for a handful of money...till i get the stupid idea of them covering the refugees instead of the british leaving the port ..and so we did.....we went to sanayi3 where we took permission from the ppl responsible there, we interviewed some children ....some families....i translated ...and then we took the car and left...Suddenly we notice there are some 20 men following us (they were mostly teenagers and guys in their mid twenties) and they stopped us with their motorcycles ....They beat us up...took our cellphones ...took the c ar keys...took the camera and the films ....took our money....they basically took everything we had on ourselves.. In other words: HIBA, WAJIH, and two English reporters were BRUTALLY ASSAULTED, ROBBED, AND BEATEN UP BY HIZABLLAH AND AMAL who mistook them for IRAELI SPIES. they thought we were spies .....a huge mob got gathered around us wanting to beat us up to death ....they came out of nowhere.... then amal intellegence came along and wanted to interrogate with us in the law school next doors (where they have great powers, i;m sure those of you who are knowledgable about the lebanese university know about amal domination over there) Hizbolla fans were shouting that they should take us to a certain center in da7ye, then the mukhabarat (amn dawle) came along and wanted to take us to their center in mat7af or whatever) There was a HUGE case of mass Hysteria, ppl were claiming that they saw the two british guys hiding stuff...they also claimed that the camera that was with us was a spying device ....i kept trying to cool them down saying the reasonable stuff...but i was rewarded with many punches...and attempts to suffocate me... Then there was a huge class between the security forces and the amal guys who wanted us for themselves....they apparently thought we'd be of great asset to amals reputation......amals guys were horrible ....they were ready to kill us ...as i could see in their eyes....Then some hizbolla high ranked officials came along .....not that much of high rank ...but at least they were officials ....and took us to a safe house where two assumptions were made. ...1) they were actually trying to take us some place safe (and i can go their right now, for i remember the neighborhood pretty well, salim slam..) 2) they were kidnapping us for bargaining purposes with the british but the security forces (mukhabarat actually) followed them so they wont fuck our relation with the UK.. There they cooled us down, got us some beverages and food and cigarettes....confirmed to us that we're safe...and that all of our stuff shall be returned.. We then went with the security forces to the mat7af where they interrogated me all night.....and they apologized for all the things that had happened ..while hiba and the british guys went to sanyoura where they met him and explained what happened and he apologized on behalf of the country...there are much more side stories to tell,\one conclusion can be made....becarefull all of you.....theres a war going on and ppl are going hysterical....dont do anything suspicious....more on, theres a seriouse clash between the security forces of the government and that of amal and hizbollah (eventhough hizbolla guys were rather nice)and that state existed in da7ye ,,,but now had moved to beirut ,....so becarefull
