A young man was killed and his brother seriously injured over the weekend in an accidental hand-grenade blast in the Eastern Bekaa. Ibrahim Awad Mohammed, 18, and Khaled, 16, were taken to the government hospital near Zahle. The father of the victims, a recently naturalized laborer of Syrian origin, said his sons had found the grenade in a junkyard adjacent to a tent serving as the family’s home.
