2 Hurt as Disgruntled Man Hurls Grenade at Tripoli Wedding

Two people were injured Tuesday as an apparently lovesick man threw a grenade at a wedding party in the northern city of Tripoli.

“After a woman's family rejected his wedding proposal several times and decided to wed her to another man, a young man hurled a grenade at a wedding party in the el-Mina district of the city of Tripoli, injuring two people,” LBCI television said.

State-run National News Agency said the man hurled a stun grenade outside the Qasr al-Nujoum Cafe on el-Mina's seaside corniche, damaging three parked cars.

Security forces arrived on the scene and launched an investigation in the wake of the incident, the agency added.
