Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun on Sunday accused "some parties" of turning the assassination of Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau chief Maj. Gen. Wissam al-Hasan into a "political battle," warning that violence "would facilitate the mission of those plotting against Lebanon."

"Maj. Gen. Wissam al-Hasan is the martyr of the entire country, not only the martyr of his security institution," Aoun said at a press conference in Rabiyeh.

A shell fired accidentally at an army weapons depot in the Yemeni capital killed two people and wounded seven others on Thursday, a security official told Agence France Presse.

"Initial information indicates that a shell was (accidentally) fired at the weapons depot" from a nearby military facility where troops "were training," the official said on condition of anonymity.
