(ANSAmed) - BEIRUT, JANUARY 12 - A bomb was blown up by
unidentified individuals last night at a alcoholic beverages
shop in southern Lebanon, the latest in a series of this sort of
attack - for which no one has claimed responsibility - in an
area with a Shiite Muslim-majority population.
Reports were from the Lebanese news agency NNA. The
explosion - which occurred in Sarafand, about 50 kilometres
south of Beirut - severely damaged the shop targeted and, to a
lesser degree, surrounding ones as well. However, no one was
hurt. In multi-confessional Lebanon, the sale and consumption of
alcoholic beverages is legal and tolerated in many areas, but
not in some with a Muslim majority population. (ANSAmed).
