Suicide Vest, Bomb-Making Material Found in Garbage in Sidon
A suicide vest, bomb-making material and a tactical vest were found Thursday during garbage sorting in the southern city of Sidon, media reports said.
“Workers found a suicide vest containing explosives, a timer and a tactical vest as they were sorting garbage at the Sayniq waste management plant in south Sidon,” state-run National News Agency reported.
“Security forces immediately arrived on the scene and launched an investigation,” NNA added.
Several suicide vests were seized in recent days as security forces launched a massive nationwide crackdown in the wake of deadly suicide blasts in the Beirut southern suburb of Bourj al-Barajneh.
The attack, the worst in years, killed 44 people and wounded 240 others and was claimed by the jihadist Islamic State group.
