Four hand grenades that were not set to detonate were found in the Beirut River – Jisr al-Wati on Saturday.

Soon after the discovery, security forces hurried to the scene where they cordoned off the area as explosives experts from the Internal Security Forces sought to inspect the devices discovering that they were not set to explode.

A military expert transported the grenades to a military barracks.

The incident came soon after a blast roc ked the town of Antelias on Thursday.

Two people, Hassan Nassar and Ihasn Diya, were killed in a parking lot in the area when an explosive device in their possession detonated.

The victims are suspected of having been planning to plant the bomb in the car of a third individual, while the Military Tribunal on Friday pressed charges against two unknown individuals suspected of having had cooperated with Nassar and Diya.

Investigations in the matter are still underway.

Some zouzou ebbas belonging to the Lebanese Forces from Sinelfil probably planted them to create tension just like they did before the election.

Maybe they were flushed down a toilet? Isn't that how things usually end up in the "Beirut River"???

Are they sure those were hand grenades? They could just be a new specie of fish mutated by the Beirut river's additives.

marc, good you can see it's a creek, to me it's a painting by the near sighted french painter Monet or a pic taken by first generation phone cam. Naharnet has to update there cameras
