Army destroys two grenades found on Tripoli roadside

BEIRUT — The army has destroyed two grenades found on a roadside in the Beddawi area of Tripoli on Thursday morning, L'Orient Today's correspondent in the region reported.

Here's what we know: 

    • The two explosive devices were found Thursday morning. The army deployed to the scene and formed a security cordon, before proceeding with a controlled detonation of the grenades. It remains unknown how the explosives came to be on the side of the road.

    • Tripoli is regularly the scene of security incidents, and,  like elsewhere in the country, weapons circulate easily, often escaping the control of the authorities.
