3 Other Bombs Reportedly Found Inside Abdeh Intelligence Post
Three bombs were reportedly found inside a Lebanese army intelligence post near the northern city of Tripoli but did not explode, according to a report published Monday.
The daily Al Liwa said investigation showed that the force of an explosion which killed a Lebanese army soldier in the Abdeh post on Saturday had apparently disabled the other bombs from blowing up.
Al Liwa said the military prosecutor summoned all soldiers in the post to learn about how the bombs reached the position without anybody noticing them.
Security officials said it was unclear what caused the explosion on Saturday.
They said that the army had found another device inside the post primed and ready to detonate but that explosives experts defused it before it went off.
Investigators were trying to determine when the explosives were planted.
