Three Wounded in Tripoli Grenade Explosion

Three people were wounded on Tuesday when a hand grenade exploded in the northern city of Tripoli, state-run National News Agency reported.

“The grenade had been left in an empty area in the al-Zahriyeh district behind the Jamal and Shaaban company,” NNA said.

The blast resulted in the injury of Lebanese citizens Jaber al-Moury and Radwan Badiaa and the Syrian national Shadi al-Agha, the agency added.

LBCI television said the three were working in the area when the explosion occurred.

Security forces have since arrived on the scene and launched a probe into the incident.
