Bomb goes off in the northern city of Tripoli, kills one

A bomb exploded in the northern city of Tripoli on Wednesday night, killing one person and wounding eight others, security sources said.

Meanwhile, sources told LBCI that the bomb weighed 7 kilograms.

It was not immediately clear what the target of the attack was.

Ambulances were seen rushing to the area of the blast, which was cordoned off by the military.

Tensions have flared in Tripoli, a predominantly Sunni Muslim city, in recent days as a result of clashes between the army and Islamist militants in the border town of Arsal, which is also predominantly Sunni.

Earlier on Wednesday, unidentified gunmen opened fire on soldiers in Tripoli when they removed a roadblock being set up in protest at the army's operations in Arsal.
