Old Weapons at Sidon Port Trigger Smuggling Fear

Weapons found at the port of the southern city of Sidon were old arms that were bought from the army through a public auction, Voice of Lebanon radio (100.5) reported Wednesday.

The report came after Future News said a number of old weapons that were being prepared to be shipped abroad have discovered by security apparatuses at the port.

VDL said that security forces inspected the arms that according to the head of the region’s army intelligence Maj. Gen. Ali Shahrour had been bought through the auction.

Shahrour denied that their owner, who was not identified, was seeking to smuggle them through the port.
