BEIRUT - A militant attacked a security patrol in Lebanon’s northern city of Tripoli on Monday night, killing two police officers and two soldiers before blowing himself up, officials said.
Major attacks had dropped off in Lebanon since a wave of militant bombings - many of them linked to the war in neighboring Syria - struck parts of the country from 2013 to 2016. Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri gave his condolences to the families of the dead and said all measures must be taken to protect Tripoli and “weed out any remnants of terrorism”.“Can I tell you we can curb it 100%? We can’t curb it. Countries that are perhaps more advanced than us have not been able to,” she told a press conference.
