A bomb was found on Tripoli's Qalamoun highway on Thursday, LBCI television reported, adding that a Military official said that the device was fake and was not set for explosion.

The television channel had said earlier that the army has cordoned off the Qalamoun highway after three bombs linked to a fuse were found in the area.

Al-Jadeed televison said: “The army blocked the Qalamoun street after suspecting a bomb was placed there and traffic has been diverted to the seaside road.”

MTV later noted that the army reopened the street after realizing that the bomb planted is fake.
