Lebanon car bomb kills two Hezbollah members

BAALBEK: A suicide car bomb attack killed four people late Sunday in an area dominated by Hezbollah near the Syrian border, a Lebanese security source told AFP.

The attack in the Bekaa Valley was claimed by the Al-Nusra Front in Lebanon, as well as by a little known extremist group based in the region.

The bomb killed two Hezbollah members, including local official Abdel Rahman al-Qadi, and a woman and her husband who died from their wounds shortly after the blast, the source said.

"A car bomb attack has struck the village of Al-Nabi Othman," the source said.

"The blast was carried out by a suicide attacker. Hezbollah members knew he was about to carry out the attack, and tried to stop the vehicle. That was when the attacker detonated the vehicle," he added. (AFP)
