'Hoax Bomb' Found under Car in Shiyyah
[An Nahar] A fake bomb was placed under a car in the Beirut southern suburb of Shiyyah on Tuesday."A hoax bomb consisted of fake dynamite sticks, a nonoperational clock and a nylon bag was found under a car in the Asaad al-Asaad Street in Shiyyah," the Internal Security Forces said on its Twitter page. Al-Mayadeen television also reported that the suspicious object was a "fake bomb." Earlier on Tuesday, state-run National News Agency said that "after a suspicious car on Shiyyah's Asaad al-Asaad Street was inspected, it turned out that an armed bomb connected to a fuse was placed under it." It said a military expert dismantled the parcel which consisted of "a dynamite stick and a TNT filling." An army unit had cordoned off the area according to NNA. The development comes in the wake of a powerful boom-mobileing in central Beirut that killed former minister Mohammed Shatah and seven other people on Friday. Dozens of people were also injured in the attack. Posted by: Fred 2014-01-01 |
