A bomb exploded outside the home of a Western Christian missionary couple in northern Lebanon overnight, killing one person, security sources said on Wednesday.
According to AP, they said the device was planted outside the ground floor apartment of a Dutch missionary and his German wife in a suburb of Tripoli. It was the second attack on Christian missionaries in Lebanon in six months.
The identity of the dead man was not immediately known. Witnesses said his body had been badly mangled making identification difficult. But security sources said he may have been a Jordanian acquaintance of the missionaries.
The couple were not hurt in the blast which happened around midnight. Witnesses said police cordoned off the neighborhood and detained at least three people for questioning. (Albawaba.com)
