Nail Bomb Blast on Masnaa Main Road

A roadside bomb exploded at dawn Tuesday on the Masnaa main road in the eastern Bekaa valley, without causing casualties, the state-run National News Agency reported.

The 150-gram bomb, which contained nails, was planted on the side of the road at al-Akramiyeh junction.

The army drew a dragnet around the area and launched an investigation.

Earlier this month, a roadside explosion in Taanayel damaged a van that was heading to the Masnaa border crossing on its way to Syria.

Reports had said that the van was transporting Hizbullah fighters.
