3 Hurt as Grenade Hurled at Jabal Mohsen Cafe

Three people were injured Thursday evening when a hand grenade was hurled at a cafe in the Tripoli neighborhood of Jabal Mohsen, state-run National News Agency reported.

“Security forces immediately arrived on the scene and launched an investigation,” NNA said.

MTV meanwhile identified the wounded as Salah al-Raffah and a man and his son from the al-Zayni family.

Nine people were killed and more than 30 were wounded in January when two suicide bombers blew themselves up in the Abu Omran Cafe in Jabal Mohsen. The attack was claimed by the Qaida-linked al-Nusra Front.
