Military Expert Defuses Explosives inside Car in Beirut's Dahieh
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A booby-trapped car containing many explosives was found on Monday evening in Beirut's southern suburbs.
"A booby-trapped blue Grand Cherokee car was found in Beirut's al-Maamoura neighborhood," the Army Command said in a communique.
The army added: "Experts are working on dismantling the large amounts of explosives found in it and move the vehicle to a secure place."
"The booby-trapped car was located in al-Maamoura-al-Mreije neighborhood of Beirut's southern suburbs," the state-run National News Agency said.
"A military expert has dismantled the explosives found in it," it added.
Al-Manar, meanwhile, said that a mobile phone connected to a cable was found in Dahieh's suspicious car.
But the army's intelligence informed State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr that a large number of explosives was found in Dahieh's car.
LBCI television said the bomb defused was estimated to weigh hundreds of kilograms.
The explosives were dismantled and the car was pulled over from the scene, the army's intelligence told Saqr according to LBCI.
LBCI added: "Judge Saqr tasked the army intelligence to investigate the case of the car and to keep him updated on the results of the probe."
The NNA said earlier that security forces suspected a car in Beirut's Dahieh neighborhood.
"The army has since cordoned off the area and a military expert inspected the scene with the help of sniffer dogs," it added.
At least 14 people were killed and 212 others wounded in a car bombing that rocked Hizbullah's stronghold in Beirut's southern suburbs on July 9.
The blast went off on the public road between the neighborhoods of Bir al-Abed and Ruwais.
Following the blast, the party adopted strict security measures in the area before the army, Internal Security Forces, and General Security members set up checkpoints and took over Hizbullah's checkpoints in Dahieh.
The task force in Dahieh includes 100 General Security members, 300 soldiers and 400 Internal Security Forces personnel.

More terror, fear. People are going paranoid. Bachar, nasrallah, and aoun are winning... They managed to let people be hostage of their terror.

PS. I noticed the blunder. My friend Texas made a mistake, I preferred not to comment on a typo to not dilute the gist of my message and transform the conversation into a sterile one.
But you and farris seem obsessed with FT and see him everwhere. Snap out of it boys.

I share Gabby's opinion. Stirring chaos and making troubles is 100% the regime's objective. They've proven it thru out history. Unless the takfiris in question are taking their orders from the giraff, it's most likely a fake attack staged by Hizballa or Damacus intended to scare Lebanese. They want people to start hating Syrian refugees, so idiots can wage a war against them and against Lebanon. This way, Hizballa can keep its filthy weapons and other groups can start the arms race.
Open ur eyes every1..... This is THEIR plan!

anonymetexasusa is naive on this one. the fact is that hizballa is lower than wat he thinks of them. worse than snakes!!!! he isn't to only 1 falling in their trap.... propaganda is essential to boost their [il]legitimacy.

PS you said "hezbollahis bypass their leadership and take orders directly from Syrian secret service". I have have always wondered abt that. If true, it would explain a lot of things.
Any leads on that?
