One killed, three injured in Tripoli blast

BEIRUT, Sept 28 (KUNA) -- One person was killed and three injured in a hand grenade attack by unknown perpetrators on a motorcycle dealer in northern Lebanon's Tripoli on Saturday.
Police have cordoned off the area along with the premises of a similar attack by a sound grenade, also in the city, reported local media.
No casualties have however been reported as a result of the other incident.
Lebanon's second-largest city was the victim of two explosions in August which killed at least 42 people and wounded hundreds.
The country has been severely affected by sectarian strife that has spilled over from the civil war in neighbouring Syria. (end) mah.sd KUNA 290107 Sep 13NNNN
