| Grenade blast at Beirut
bank BEIRUT - A hand grenade was lobbed at a bank in a Christian town northeast of Beirut last night. There were no casualties reported, but the bomb caused some damage to the building in the mountain resort town of Dhour Shweir, police said. Dhour Shweir is about 20km northeast of Beirut in the Christian heartland. It was the fifth explosion to rock Christian areas of Lebanon since March 19. Four previous explosions killed three people and wounded 24 and caused severe damage to the shopping, residential and industrial areas they targeted. Fear has gripped Lebanon following the recent spate of bombs, which have been placed under or near cars. (agencies) |
