Saint Paul's Cathedral Receives Hoax Bomb Threat
The pastor of Saint Paul's Cathedral in Harissa, Naim Khouriyeh, revealed on Thursday that a priest had received a text message warning that the cathedral will be bombed.
Khouriyeh told Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) that investigations carried out by security forces showed that the threat was a hoax.
“It's an individual act that aims at blackmailing” the Cathedral, Kouriyeh added.
On Wednesday, the army heavily deployed near the cathedral in Harissa and worshipers were evacuated immediately after the threat.
