SNG Vehicle Torched in Fresh Attack on al-Jadeed TV
A live broadcast vehicle was torched overnight outside al-Jadeed TV's headquarters in Beirut's Wata el-Msaitbeh neighborhood.
Footage extracted from CCTV cameras and broadcast by the channel showed two men arriving on a motorcycle and entering a small residential building adjacent to al-Jadeed's HQ.
Another CCTV video shows the Satellite News Gathering (SNG) vehicle going up in flames and a number of employees using fire extinguishers to douse the flames.
Al-Jadeed said a highly flammable material was poured on the vehicle.
The television's chairwoman Karma Khayat meanwhile told LBCI TV: “Whenever we air any report containing criticism against Speaker Nabih Berri, an attack on the station follows, knowing that we've broadcast thousands of reports targeting everyone without anyone acting in this manner.”
In February, supporters of Berri's AMAL Movement attempted to storm al-Jadeed TV's building in protest at a satirical TV show that they deemed insulting to the parliament speaker and to AMAL founder Imam Moussa al-Sadr.
The angry protesters hurled rocks and firecrackers at the building, smashing several windows and injuring two al-Jadeed employees and a policeman.
Al-Jadeed's building had come under several such attacks in the past.

This article will pose a dilemma for gigahabil and his shia crowd: how can they spin the Al Jadeed incident and market it as a common occurrence of something that happens regularly in sunni or christian area.

بعد التسلسل الزمني يمكننا ان نلاحظ ان عرضنا اي موضوع فيه انتقاد لرئيس مجلس النواب نبيه بري يتم بعده الاعتداء على المحطة، علماً اننا عرضنا آلاف المواضيع التي تطال الجميع إلا ان احداً لم يتصرف بهذه الطريقة. اين الدولة ووزير الداخلية وقوى الأمن ام ان عناصر الرئيس بري محميين منه؟۔11:27أنطوانيت جعجع: نحن اليوم نسعى من أجل الإصلاح ونمنع الفساد وهذا الفساد المرفوض يجب أن يكون على كل المستويات وأتمنى ألا تتراجعوا في أن تشهدوا للحق.۔

This is embedded in their very genes. The only way they act out is violently, and Lebanon was stupid enough to let them in.
