Police chiefs to discuss probes into bombings
Daily Star staff
BEIRUT: The police chiefs assigned by Military Public Prosecutor Jean Fahd to handle investigations into the recent bombings in Kesrouan and Metn will meet with him Thursday to discuss the results of their inquiries.
Each area commander or police chief will submit the results of their investigations into the Sadd Bouchrieh, New Jdeideh, Kaslik and Broummana blasts.
Sources say military experts believe those who planted the bombs were highly experienced professionals, and could be part of a sleeper cell that has now been reactivated.
Military experts said each of the explosions was caused by roughly 30 kilograms of TNT, which left no traceable evidence.
The sources said the only tangible piece of evidence was a confiscated Pajero four wheel drive vehicle with Lebanese Army license plates used by former chief of Syrian Intelligence Major General Ghazi Kenaan while he still held his post. Kenaan did not return the license plates to the Lebanese Army when he returned to Syria.
Two Syrian soldiers who work with Kenaan's son Yurob were in the car when they were arrested. They were later released and the car was returned to the army.
The sources said the issue of a pickup truck carrying 50 kilograms of explosives, seized in the Bekaa last week, will also be the subject of discussions in the meeting. -
