| [An Nahar] A U.N. building at the Gefinor Center in Clemenceau on Monday was evacuated after hand-written pamphlets warned of bombs in the building were thrown, National News Agency reported. The U.N. media official Bahaa Elkoussy said to NNA that "an unknown person entered the U.N. building Monday afternoon in order to transfer a box to the health center and threw leaflets which were handwritten in red saying "there is a bomb." The U.N. security evacuated the building and an explosives expert came, but no explosives were found. The security forces have identified the person who threw the leaflets and are currently in his pursuit. Earlier, security measures have been taken to protect the U.N. building in downtown Beirut, ESCWA, after the international organization has been targeted in many countries, recently in Abuja. |
