| [AnNahar] A Lebanese army expert dismantled on Friday a hand grenade and a home-made bomb in the northern city of Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... , the military announced. The grenade and bomb were discovered by an army patrol in a empty water bottle in Tripoli's al-Amercan neighborhood, it said in a communique. The bomb was produced from 500 grams of explosives and was linked along with the grenade to a fuse, the communique added. On Wednesday, a Lebanese military expert was killed and two others were maimed when a bomb they were about to dismantle near the northeastern border town of Arsal went kaboom!. The kaboom came a day after an ambush by gunnies in Ras Baalbek killed six soldiers and maimed one. Troops have been battling Syria-based hard boys, including the Lion of Islam Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group and the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front, in areas near the border. Soldiers have also lately engaged in deadly gunbattles with Lebanese faceless myrmidons in northern Leb. Jihadi recruitment in impoverished areas of the North is on the rise, and black IS flags fly freely in some areas, reflecting pockets of growing support for the radical group. |
