Lebanon's National News Agency said at least fourteen people were killed and hundreds wounded after a powerful explosion tore through a Hezbollah bastion in southern Beirut Thursday. More people are trapped inside damaged buildings, witnesses said.
A powerful explosion struck the southern Beirut stronghold of Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group on Thursday, killing at least 14 people, wounding more than 200 and trapping many others inside damaged buildings, witnesses and emergency officials said. The blast, a month after a car bomb wounded more than 50 people in the same district of the Lebanese capital, came amid sectarian tensions over the intervention of Shi'ite Muslim Hezbollah against Sunni rebels in Syria's civil war.
Residents of southern Beirut say Hezbollah, backed by Iran and Syria, was on high alert and stepped up security in the area after warnings from Syria rebels of possible retaliation for the group's support for President Bashar al-Assad.
