| [An Nahar] Military Tribunal Judge Saqr Saqr pressed charges on Friday against unknown individuals suspected of being involved in the blast that took place in Antelias on Thursday. The suspects are charged with taking part with the victims, Hassan Nassar and Ihsan Diya, in preparing a bomb and detonating it in a parking lot in Antelias on Thursday. A blast rocked the town of Antelias on Thursday, killing two people who were in possession of an bomb. Interior Minister Marwan Charbel told cabinet that the kaboom was a result of a financial and personal dispute between several people, including some car dealers. He stressed that the probe hasn't revealed that a political or another known figure was targeted. Security forces are searching for a third person who is involved in the financial dispute, the minister said. "Our investigation so far does not point to an act of sabotage," he told news hounds.
