UNIFIL Awaits Shehabiyeh Probe Results as Source Says Blasts Resulted from Hizbullah Training |
2010-09-07 |
[An Nahar] UNIFIL spokesman Neeraj Singh said Saturday that U.N. peacekeepers were waiting for the results of investigations to determine the nature of explosions at a suspected Hizbullah arms cache in Shehabiyeh. /"We can't confirm anything" before the end of the probe in the blasts that tore through the three-storey building on Friday, Singh told Agence France Presse. "We have carried out additional investigations at the scene of the incident ... getting an answer from investigators requires some time," he said. "How much time we talkin' here?" "Years. Could be centuries." A Lebanese army spokesman has confirmed that there had been three explosions in the house, but said the nature and cause of the blasts was still unclear. The Central News Agency quoted an international security source as saying on Saturday that the blasts could have resulted from training carried out by Hizbullah members inside the house. |
