The Bourj Hammoud massacre was an armed robbery that took place in a jewelry shop in the Bourj Hammoud quarter, Lebanon, in 1985. Five people have died as a result; the three perpetrators were arrested by the Lebanese Internal Security Forces and sentenced to death but escaped from prison before they could face execution, and have vanished without trace. They have been spotted 3 decades later, in Vienna capital of Austria, by the families of the victims.
