| [An Nahar] LBCI television on Thursday broadcast a video showing the movements of the booby-trapped Kia that was blown up by a jacket wallah in Haret Hreik. The car moved forward from Shatila towards the airport road before entering Ghobairi and Haret Hreik, LBCI said. "The footage demonstrates how the suicide bomber crossed all these areas calmly, without drawing anyone's attention," the TV network added. On Wednesday, LBCI said the booby-trapped car came from the Sabra area in Beirut, which lies on the outskirts of the southern suburbs and hosts a Paleostinian refugee camp. The Kia took off from outside the al-Rabih residential complex in Sabra and headed towards the Shatila roundabout, LBCI reported on Wednesday. It noted that the driver of the explosives-rigged car normally stopped at the army checkpoint in Ghobairi before continuing his journey. Citing reports, the TV network said "the group of the Paleostinian Ahmed Taha has links to the suicide kaboom." Three people were killed and around 35 others were maimed in the suicide kaboom on Tuesday morning, the second such attack to target the same street in one month. Later on Tuesday, the Internal Security Forces announced arresting the man who stole the Kia, saying he was also behind stealing a car that went kaboom!in Bekaa's Hermel. The robber was identified as Nabil Ahmed al-Moussawi. |
