| [An Nahar] A bomb destroyed a car moments after it was parked by its owner in 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... 's al-Qobbeh area on Sunday, state-run National News Agency reported. "The blast targeted the Jeep of Sheikh Saadeddine Ghiyyeh, leaving him lightly maimed," NNA said. "A military expert who arrived on the scene estimated the bomb to weigh around 200 grams," the agency added. Citing preliminary security reports, MTV said the bomb was likely planted inside the car. But an army statement issued later on Sunday confirmed that the bomb weighed 200 grams, noting that it was placed under the vehicle and set to detonate with a timer. LBCI television said Ghiyyeh was maimed in the leg and rushed to al-Shamal Hospital for treatment. |
