Delivery driver behind gunfire on US Beirut embassy — police
By Agence France-Presse
Sep 30, 2023 12:07 am

Beirut, Lebanon: The gunman who fired on the US embassy in Beirut last week was a delivery driver seeking revenge for his perceived humiliation by security personnel, Lebanese police alleged on Thursday.

There were no casualties in the September 20 shooting on the embassy entrance but it revived memories of deadly attacks in the 1980s that prompted the embassy's relocation from the city centre to the northern suburb of Awkar.
