Blast kills Beirut idiot security guard
 BEIRUT, Lebanon (Reuters) -- A hand grenade exploded in the Kuwaiti information office in Beirut on Monday killing a Lebanese employee who had been playing with it, the Kuwaiti ambassador to Lebanon said. The explosion killed 35-year old Ayyas al-Alayli, the office's security officer, and wounded two other Lebanese employees, a senior Lebanese security source said. "This was not an act of terrorism," Ambassador Ali Suleiman al-Sauid told reporters. "Unfortunately one of the employees was playing around with some old explosives ... when it exploded, according to his colleagues who are now at the hospital". | "Hey, watch me do thi.......KABOOM!" |
Another security source had earlier said the explosion was apparently caused by a booby-trapped package.
