The Palestine Civil Rights Campaign-Lebanon confirms reports that Franklin Lamb was shot at approximately 11:45 a.m. on Sunday August 21 in Tripoli, Libya outside of the Corinthia Hotel where he has been staying.

Franklin P. Lamb, LLM,PhD is the Director of Americans Concerned for Middle East Peace, Wash.DC-Beirut. Lamb is doing research as a board member for the Palestine Civil Rights Campaign-Lebanon in Libya.

Lamb has covered the unfolding situation in Libya as a contributing writer to this website and many others.

PCRC tells Activist Post that Franklin had just returned from a 90 minute bicycle tour of central Tripoli and was walking past the hotel swimming pool when he was hit in his right leg.

Witnesses report having seen sniper fire coming from the roof of the Marriott Hotel across from the Corinthia.

Franklin is reportedly doing well. The bullet has been removed and he is resting comfortably. PCRC said Lamb wishes that no one be concerned and that he will be fine.

It’s unclear whether Lamb was targeted for his highly-critical reporting of NATO as the aggressor in Libya.

It’s also reported that Internet has been cut in Tripoli, so reports are likely to be delayed inside Libya.

This article includes direct quotes from an email sent to Activist Post by Lamb’s associates.

Mr. Lamb held up the bullet that was removed from his leg in the video posted in one of the main libya articles here at Infowars. Now I could be mistaken but it looks like a .22 round so definately not anyone with any know-how whatsoever. Just seems to me as well as what Mr. Lamb said, some generic ‘sniper’ going after targets of opportunity. As some have already stated he is white, and to these locals that means the bad guys haha, and rightfully so. Maybe if some of our fellow countrymen could see past the suits and hair we too could identify some of our more pale skinned scum. Only then can we come to terms with being debt slaves living within a usurped nation and restore this damn place.
- I believe that you could be wrong.a 22/250 (has a .22 head only)round is extremely accurate and could easily take out a target,great for sniping at a reasonable distance’s.If they had used a NATO round it would have been obvious,you have been psyche-opd,hook line and sinker!
BIG FAT WHITE GUY IN A SEA OF HATE, LOL I’D SAY HE’S A TARGET

STUPID FUCKER SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN SITTING SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF A CIVIL WAR BATTLE.
“It is unclear whether Lamb was targeted …”

To whom is this unclear? Sheesh.
