Explosives experts defused two remote control bombs that were planted at the Saliba checkpoint in Imbaba.
Each was made of a butane gas cylinder weighing 6kg and connected to a car battery.
The bombs were found when the resident reported that they saw two men come out of a red Kia car and place a suspicious object at the checkpoint when the police were unaware.
