| [An Nahar] Internal Security Forces on Tuesday jugged two people suspected of throwing a hand grenade at the entrance of Faisal Omar Karami's house in Tripoli on Sunday, the state-run National News Agency reported. NNA identified the two suspects by their initials M. Q. and N. F. It added that Sherlocks were interrogating them at the Tripoli cop shoppe in order to uncover the incident's circumstances. NNA also quoted Faisal Karami as saying that "the authorities concerned referred the case to the military judiciary given that the crime harms national security, because it targeted the security and stability of Tripoli, the North and Leb." Two of Karami's bodyguards were maimed at dawn Sunday when unknown assailants tossed the grenade at his house. A security source told Voice of Leb radio station that occupants of a speeding vehicle tossed the grenade at 1:00 am at Karami's vehicle, which was parked near his home. While refusing to accuse any side, Karami said the attack was a "political message." "We will keep our political and historic stances," he vowed. The incident is "very dangerous" although it did not cause any damage, Faisal's father, ex-PM Omar Karami, said later Sunday. Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... Leb's Grand Mufti Sheikh Mohammed Rashid Qabbani condemned the attack, warning that "the recurrent daily attacks in Leb indicate that the hands of evil are still seeking to cause harm to Leb and its people." |
