Missile exploded near convoy of former Lebanese PM

A missile exploded earlier this month near the convoy of former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri while he visited a mountainous area in the eastern Bekaa Valley, The Associated Press reported on Sunday, citing the Saudi-owned Al-Hadath TV station.

Hariri’s office in a statement said most of the report was “generally correct.” The blast reportedly occurred some 500 meters away from Hariri’s motorcade on June 17.
