| [AnNahar] The army dismantled on Saturday an bomb and an anti-tank mine on the outskirts of the northeastern border town of Arsal, it announced in a statement. The bomb was placed on the side of a dirt road that the army frequently uses in its patrols, reported LBCI television. The device contained 20 kilograms of explosives, added the army communique. It was discovered as the military was searching a number of roads on the outskirts of Arsal. The army also unearthed an anti-tank mine in the area. The bomb and the mine were both prepared to be remotely detonated. In March, the army was the victim of a suicide kaboom that targeted its checkpoint in Arsal. Three troops were martyred and four others were maimed in the attack. In August, the army engaged in festivities in Arsal with Islamist gunnies from Syria who had overran the town. |
