Police arrested a Palestinian carrying a bomb ready to explode in the southern Lebanese port city of Sidon. 'A patrol of the Internal Security Forces (ISF) arrested in Sidon a man carrying a bag with a TNT explosive charge weighing 200 grammes which had been timed to explode on Sunday at 9:30 pm (1930 GMT),' a police statement said. The bomb had been defused by an ISF expert. Security sources identified the man as Palestinian Walid Mustapha. They said Mustapha had been detained near the Palestinian refugee camp of Ein el-Hilweh, near Sidon. In the past few weeks, Lebanese authorities have repeatedly seized weapons and explosives in various areas of the country. Three arms dealers close to the Damascus-based Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC) were arrested last week near the market-town of Nabatiyeh. Lebanon has been struck by deadly bombings in the last three years, including a series of assassinations targeting anti-Syrian figures.
