When I moved into my new apartment with a balcony last summer, the first thought was: Finally sit outside! The second: Shit bugs. The third: I need a grill! If you get a piece of free space, then you want to use it. Not just for wallowing, tanning and forgetting to water your plants, but also for barbecuing. If you want to have a barbecue on the Danube Island in Vienna in summer, you have to sit in front of your computer in January and refresh the website like crazy to get a seat. Because the rush is extreme and the dates are fully booked within a very short time. It will probably rain that day of all days.

The Lebanese Minister of Interior said, on Thursday, that one of the sons of the late Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi is receiving medical care in a hospital in Lebanon, following he went on hunger strike two weeks ago, in protest of his imprisonment since 2015 without trial.

Hannibal was arrested in Lebanon following the Public Prosecutor accused him of concealing information regarding the fate of Imam Musa al-Sadr, a Lebanese Shiite cleric who disappeared during a trip to Libya in 1978.

Gaddafi’s son said he was a victim of injustice and that he was accused of a crime he did not commit. He announced his decision to go on hunger strike this month, when he was only two years old at the time of Musa al-Sadr’s disappearance.

Lebanon’s Shiites have long held the Gaddafi government, which was overthrown in 2011, responsible for al-Sadr’s disappearance, saying Libya had kidnapped him during the trip.

Lebanese Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi said that Hannibal Gaddafi was transferred on Wednesday from the security forces building, where he was being held, to the hospital, following security personnel in the building felt that his condition had deteriorated.

Reem Al-Dabri, Gaddafi’s client, said, “His condition is constantly deteriorating and deteriorating every day.” She added that he had nothing to do with al-Sadr’s disappearance, describing him as a “political hostage for undeclared purposes,” noting that he was “two years old” at the time of that incident.

Hannibal Gaddafi fled Libya in 2011 following the outbreak of a revolution once morest his father’s rule, eventually arriving in Syria, from which al-Dabri says he was kidnapped to Lebanon in 2015.

The rebels captured and killed Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.

Al-Sadr, who Libya said had left the country safely, is widely believed to have been killed shortly following being taken into custody.

Al-Sadr founded the Shiite Amal Movement, which, along with the Hezbollah group, dominates Shiite politics in Lebanon, and is headed by Nabih Berri, Speaker of Parliament since 1980.

At around 5:45 p.m., the 55-year-old from Vienna was still shopping in the supermarket in Bad Wimsbach. Back in the car, he wanted to stow a drink bottle in the back of the vehicle when it happened. He must have accidentally stepped on the gas pedal because the car crashed head-on into the supermarket.

The force of the impact was so great that the outside wall of the store was crushed, causing a shelf inside the store to be torn from its anchorage and toppled over. A 45-year-old man who was out shopping was hit in the shin area by the falling shelf. He was slightly injured. The driver of the vehicle should have remained unharmed, according to a police spokesman in an interview with nachrichten.at.
