Another Fake Bomb Discovered in Sidon

A fake bomb was found Monday in Sidon, media reports said, a day after a similar object was discovered during the southern city's municipal and mayoral polls.

“Security forces discovered a suspicious object in the al-Dakraman area near the southern entrance of the Lebanese University in Sidon,” reports said.

A security cordon was imposed in the region before a bomb technician announced that the object was “a fake bomb consisted of a thermal indicator connected to a small gas cylinder.”

On Sunday, police found a fake bomb that was planted in a school in Sidon, state-run National News Agency reported.

The bogus device was found in the Maarouf Saad Public School and was also tied to a thermal indicator.
