SIDON, Lebanon: A suspected bomb with no detonator was found in the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain al-Hilweh near the southern city of Sidon Wednesday morning.

The device was discovered by locals at a parking lot on the lower road to Ain al-Hilweh, an official at the camp told The Daily Star.

Two wires were attached to the bomb, which weighed 250 grams, according to experts who examined the device.

However the bomb was not set to blow up, they said.

The device, which was later handed over to the Lebanese Army for examination, was found to contain powder used in fireworks in addition to a piece of metal.
