SIDON: The father of soldier Ahmad al-Kharrat who was killed in a bomb attack on an Army vehicle died Saturday, the National News Agency said.
Relatives told The Daily Star that Hamadi Kharrat, who had been in a coma for a month, died Saturday morning, hours after the military handed over the body of his son who sustained fatal wounds to his head Friday.
A roadside bomb targeted an Army patrol unit, killing Kharrat, 37, and another soldier from north Lebanon, in the northeastern town of Arsal as they were headed to Wadi Hmeid.
Kharrat and his father will be buried during a joint funeral ceremony in the afternoon in their hometown of Sidon.
