BEIRUT (Reuters) - Before he went missing on Aug. 4, Ghassan Hasrouty, an employee of Beirut's giant grain silos for 38 years, thought he was working in the safest place in the city.
The reinforced concrete walls and underground rooms were his shelter for many days during Lebanon's 1975-1990 civil war.
