Lebanon suspects IS group behind cafe bombing
Lebanon's interior minister said Sunday that the militant Islamic State group may have been behind a suicide bombing in the northern city of Tripoli that killed nine people.
Local media quoted Nouhad Machnouk as telling reporters after a security meeting that "preliminary information indicates that (the Islamic State) is behind the explosion."
The suicide bomber struck a coffee shop in Tripoli's predominantly Alawite neighborhood of Jabal Mohsen, killing nine people and wounding over 30 on Saturday evening.
