| [An Nahar] Explosive materials and devices were found on Saturday evening in a car parked near the municipality building of the Naameh neighborhood in Mount Leb's Shouf district. "Five barrels of TNT, kaboom, fuses and detonators were found in the car," the state-run National News Agency reported, noting that the weight of the explosives is estimated at 250 Kgs. The NNA detailed: "The car was parked on the main road in Naameh, specifically near the town's municipality building. It is an Audi and has a fake number plate." "The car was set to be remotely detonated," it said. Security forces asked civilians and news hounds to stay away from the scene as it is still being inspected by experts, according to the same source. Later, MTV said the experts dismantled the explosives that were planted in the car's door. Earlier on Saturday, the NNA said security forces cordoned off the Naameh region after suspecting that a car parked in a building's parking is booby-trapped. |
