Chahine was on his way with two of his friends – Farid Koukash and Ayman Selim - to Beirut. Farid was behind the wheel. He was going there to pick up his mother and his siblings for them to spend the weekend in the Azounieh. Meanwhile, Chahine was going there to invite his uncle and cousins to his wedding in the weekend that follows. On their way, from Azounieh to Beirut, they were stopped at a check point in Bhamdoun, according to witnesses. It was a Friday, at around 10 or 11 am on a day in June of 1982. This was the last time they were ever seen.
