Two gasoline bottles attached to firecrackers were found near the National University in the Mount Lebanon town of Aley, a security source told Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) on Sunday. The report came after the National News Agency said two large juice bottles were filled with gasoline and attached to a detonator, leading to a bomb scare. But the security source told VDL that the military expert did not find any plot to carry out a bombing when he inspected the materials. The university that is owned by MP Akram Shehayyeb, a member of Walid Jumblat’s National Struggle Front bloc, also denied in a statement that an explosive was found near the institution. “What was found was less than an explosive,” it said in a vague statement. The “university has a long history of education and coexistence and keeps itself at a distance from politics,” it said. The statement added that the institution does not differentiate between students from different affiliations.
