Five killed in Lebanon bus blastTRIPOLI: A powerful blast rocked a bus at the entrance of the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli early Monday leaving at least five soldiers and civilians dead and 17 others injured.
A car packed with 200 kilograms of explosives blew up in a southern neighborhood near the junction to the city's international airport, shattering car and apartment windows, Syrian TV reported.
The charred booby-trapped car was seen sitting in the street near a primary school as firefighters stood near a wide crater believed to be caused by the blast.
"We know that several people have been killed and injured by the blast," the official said.
