Dark Angel, I tried to take pictures in the Wadi Abu Jmil area, because there are a lot of entersting buildings, including the ones that were destroyed... Guards forbid me to take pictures, and even threatened to report me...
Once, I wanted to visit a friend that lives to the south of Wadi Abu Jmil, and I had to walk through all the width of the area... I got interrogated 4 times just be cause I was walking there!
Another time, I tried to sneak pictures of the synaguoge, even with my cell phone camera... A guard that was hidden in a small kiosk spoted me and started yelling and forced me to delete the picture!
So these are not rumors, they're facts... I dont understand why you find this surprising, when you know the militia attitude of the Hariri controlled areas...
