Man dies while playing with old grenade
Kids, don’t try this at home!
A hand grenade kept as a souvenir from Lebanon’s civil war exploded in a Kuwaiti government office as a worker played with it, killing the man and injuring two other people, the ambassador said.
According to AP, the dead and injured were all Lebanese employees of the Kuwaiti Information Office.
Speaking outside the 15-story building where the explosion occurred, Ambassador Ali Suleiman Saeed said: “Regrettably, it happened when one of the employees, with the knowledge of his colleagues, was playing with some old explosive materials left over from the (1975-90 civil) war. It exploded, hitting him and two of his colleagues.”
