Beirut, July 2: At "Buns and Guns" you can order a "Kalashnikov" sandwich from a bullet-shaped menu, prepared by chefs in military fatigues with the roar of explosions as background music. This new fast food restaurant in Beirut's southern suburbs, where the Hezbollah movement holds sway, was the brainchild of co-owner Ali Hammoud. He said the war theme was a novel concept that had nothing to do with Lebanon's bloody recent history. "It's just an idea I had, nothing more, nothing less.

The decision prompted an angry response from hospital workers, the Daily Mail of London reported.

"I would be surprised if anyone was offended," commented the Rev. Haley Dossor,...

Councilwoman Jeanne Faatz made the request last week to Channel 8 through Council President Elbra Wedgeworth, Wedgeworth said. "It's not a big deal because the meetings still go on; they're still public," Wedgeworth said. "We rarely do something like this. It was a one- time request." Faatz did not return a phone call seeking...
