otassim Bilal Gadafy will be summonsed for questioning about the alleged attack, during which he is also said to have scuffled with police and brandished a gun. France has finally run out of patience with the 28-year-old rabble-rouser, who is said by the foreign ministry to have been involved in "repeated incidents". The police say he has been falsely claiming diplomatic immunity.

莫達新•比拉•格達費將被傳喚，就他涉嫌的攻擊行動接受訊問，據說他在這次攻擊中還與警察發生扭打，並揮舞槍枝。法國終於對這名二十八歲的暴亂滋事者失去耐性，外交部稱他涉及「一再發生的事件」。警方說，他屢次不當援引外交豁免權。

Mr Gadafy allegedly beat the woman, eight months pregnant and described as his "companion", when she refused to let him into a room at the Grand Hotel, near the Paris Opera, late one night three weeks ago.

格達費先生涉嫌毆打這名婦女，她懷胎八月並被形容是他的「伴侶」，當時她拒絕讓他進入鄰近巴黎歌劇院的「大飯店」的一間房間，案發時間是三週前一個深夜。
