Man with Explosives Held Near U.S. Beirut Embassy
2003-12-10
Lebanese soldiers arrested a man carrying a bag full of explosives as he tried to enter the U.S. embassy in a Beirut suburb Wednesday, security sources said.
Knock, Knock.
"A person with a suspected improvised explosive device tried to get to the embassy. Embassy guards found him suspicious...
(a bag of explosives will do that to a person)
The Lebanese army forces arrested him," an embassy source said. A Lebanese security source said soldiers searched a man carrying a sports bag at the external entrance of the embassy and found explosives inside. "We’re questioning the man, who is Lebanese," he said.
Ali, pliers please.
He said it was not immediately clear if the man, in his 30s, had planned to blow himself up at the embassy.
"Nope. Nope. Not me. I'm just here to unstop that pesky toilet on the 3rd floor..."
