Updated 06.34 Sat Jul 05 2008
A 'themed' sandwich shop has opened in Beirut offering sandwiches named after weapons.
Buns and Guns is owned by Ali Hammoud who said placing the shop in Beirut's southern suburb, which is a Hezbollah stronghold was not intended to reinforce a stereotype.
The sandwich shop which is decorated with pictures of guns, bullets and other weapons has become popular with teenagers
He said: "It's just an idea I had, nothing more, nothing less. I could have put toys in place of the sandbags and teddy bears instead of guns. But it was just an idea."
