A hostage standoff in which a gunman demanded a Beirut bank let him withdraw his trapped savings has ended with the man’s surrender and no injuries.
Authorities say 42-year-old Bassam al-Sheikh Hussein entered the Federal Bank in Beirut’s bustling Hamra district with a shotgun and a canister of gasoline and threatened to set himself on fire unless he was allowed to take out his money.
Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr has more from Beirut.

Apparently it was 200.000 $
A different kind of protest.
I liked it.
I feel sorry for him , he lost his money 🤑 now he will loss his freedom
He’s got a legitimate claim, but the hostages he took were innocent and didn’t deserve this.
Sometimes you have to show the capitalist some craze otherwise they have all tools needed to finish an ordinary person.
Full support, close all banks!
Poor man
Even during the economic downturn and recession,I’m so happy I’ve been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $10,000 investment every 21days.

Talk about a dog day afternoon!…ain no sense of humor in fcukin with a man’s savings when he needs it in emergency
He didn’t rob the bank. The bank robbed him.
true
…we soon do this in droves…and we coming armed with our police and soldiers, cuz lets face it, they’re citizens too…
By the grace of God, we present daily renewable topics, on the most beautiful landscapes, in both Arabic and English.
Is this some kind of joke? Set the man free and hand over his asset, it’s his.
The banks need to have more of that kind of action
He deserved his money
IF banks in the USA tried this…….there would be thousands of such incidents and probably some dead bankers.
The Lebanese government are the ones who robbed this poor man.
Nobody Wtf?? It’s karim Benzema’s twin
Banking in the mideast
🍿
Bet if u blew up some banks this would never have happened
It isn’t a middle East issue, it’s a Lebanese issue.
We all know Lebanon is in crisis and heading towards a situation similar to Sri Lanka,
You’d know if you read.

I can’t blame him, I really can’t blame him. This is a good example of a decent man being driven to the edge because he was robbed of his hard earned money that he needed for a sick family member.
God is Great ! No one got harmed. May they find him the help he needs, as he is kept in a safe place.
Sounds like fake news
Coming to all of us!
Digital currency coming our way sooner than we think.
Cash will be become obsolete.
AGENDA 2030 is speeding up!
WEF members are everywhere, and not just in Government positions.
God bless everyone.
He’s a hero a movie should be made about this
spielberg already ahead of you but in the yanki version guy gets shot to pieces by cops
Iran is the cause of everything happening in lebanon
Hero
Welcome to the Rothschild’s central banking system people get your money out of BANKS!
May Allah protect him and give justice and ease to everyone in Lebanon except the corrupt politicians.
The bank held the gentleman up for hours not giving him his money. He returned the favor and they call the news station
poor guy, he’s so desperate that he had to resort to this just to get his own money
my god
Господи, помоги человеку справиться с такой бедой!
Bro if I got 200k in my acct I’m taking in Draco’s and FN’s for sure
He did the right thing , it’s his money , he’s not robbing the bank. Screw the banks
If he is demanding his own money and the bank wouldn’t give it to him then didn’t the bank hold him hostage first???
Life has already taught me this hard lesson: You don’t have money if it’s in a bank.
Plz i need help…. I am from Bangladesh.. My country Danger…. Plz help me

How is a crime if you’re asking for your own money for a hospital bill. It makes no sense.
This is what crypto scamners do during rug pulls
bitcoin is inevitable
Even responding security forces sympathized with him. Thank God this ended peacefully.
I feel sorry for him and his father
Bills are not allowed to take the payment ! Once account is done then only make the payment, you have to pass the bill first. Bills are not allowing to do the work, over and over again, why we work without Bills., Submit the Bill properly., Arabs people don’t know anything at the time payment, when the payment required they come and shout and once not given they take back work from police also, and they want people in their possessions also.
$210,000 and he needs his money to pay for his father’s hospital bill, give him his money.
I am really sorry for him.
I want to take the time to once again condemn India and *WION* for there continual support for *The Western Hegemonic Ideology.*
WION did not report on this story correctly at all. They got of information wrong about this man and his background. Having the wrong information lead them to make wrong assumptions, judgements and assessment of the situation. It’s called, *”Having the wrong perception.”* That’s what happens when you are too close to *Colonialism.*

People are facing a haircut?
Really? I half expected them to fire an RPG into the bank. Let’s face it, they don’t care about their own people.
We have those Lebanese criminals in Berlin.
Poor man who is just a descent man that been driven edge of insanity of a corrupt system.
How long he has to be in jail?
now had this gone down in yankistan cops woulda shot him to pieces
all’s well that end’s well
LEBANON SMALL COUNTRIES BIGGEST PROBLEM….WHY GOVERNMENT
There would NOT be a “banking” crisis in Beirut if the Untied States would leave your people alone. That might work.
This is nothing compared to the suffering of the Palestinians
I don’t understand if anyone is saying negative about him, don’t bark because if you have not seen unjust or experienced it. Anyone reaching breaking point will definitely know, what’s breaking point or it looks like?!. He deserves to be given his money as well as his freedom. Its his money, give him back looters instead of making it a big deal. What do you expect from a parent seeing their kids hungry? Afcourse they will steal or do crime. What do you expect from an individual like him in such desperate situation?. Poor guy felt bad for him that, he’s bought to such a disgrace from the currpt system. Humans are going crazy at the moment around the world. 😏
