| KFC bombed in Tripoli |
| 2002-05-09 |
| A bomb caused extensive damage when it exploded outside an American fast-food restaurant early this morning in the Lebanese city of Tripoli, police said. No one was wounded in the blast. Police said a bomb containing 1.5 kilograms of TNT was placed at the entrance to a building housing Kentucky Fried Chicken and Hardee's burger chain on the southern side of the port city. No one was hurt in the 4 a.m. explosion, but a laborer suffered cuts from falling glass during a cleanup operation. Several parked cars were damaged. Police said they were investigating a possible link between the bombing and a campaign to boycott American products in retaliation for Washington's perceived support of Israel in its conflict with the Palestinians.
