Unidentified assailants dumped 11 bags of flour, weighing 50 kilos each, into the basin of Sidon’s port, and destroyed around 500 kilograms of flour near al-Maqased association building in the southern city.
The incident comes after Health Minister Wael Abou Faour revealed that some wheat samples contain carcinogenic substances.
Security forces rushed to the scene and cordoned off the area, awaiting Economy Ministry officials to arrive and inspect the products.
