Lebanon

A grenade was thrown into a Tripoli bakery that was open during Ramadan fasting hours. A judge called for the death sentence for a Syrian woman who possessed detonators and had passed them on to an accomplice. Security forces are bracing for an attack at Roumieh prison; two inmates have been managing a terror network outside the prison, and the Al Nusrah Front emir in Qalamoun, Syria, recently spoke of freeing Islamist prisoners “within days.” The Free Sunnis of Baalbek Brigade, which pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, said its fighters are planning to target Christians and churches in Lebanon, particularly in the Bekaa region; authorities dismissed the threat.
