Army: Siddiqin Blast Caused by Mine or Cluster Bomb
[An Nahar] The army command announced on Wednesday that the Siddiqin kaboom that took place overnight may have been caused by a mine or cluster bomb left over from Israeli attacks on Leb.It said in a statement that army units headed to the scene of the blast and conducted a wide search throughout the night and during the day on Wednesday without finding anything. "Given these findings, the kaboom was most likely caused by a mine or a cluster bomb," it concluded. Hizbullah meanwhile issued a statement condemning media reports that claimed that the blast took place at a party headquarter or arms depot, deeming them as "completely baseless." A huge kaboom went off in the Hizbullah stronghold of Siddiqin in the South overnight and party members prevented the security forces from reaching the area, media reports said Wednesday. The reports said the cause of the blast could not be determined after Hizbullah drew a tight security dragnet around the scene of the kaboom. Posted by: Fred 2011-11-24 |
