- Story Text: Car bomb in Christian area of Beirut kills one.
A car bomb exploded in a mainly Christian neighbourhood of the
Lebanese capital Beirut late on Friday, killing one person and wounding at
least 10, Red Cross and security sources said.
The bomb exploded near a branch of Lebanon's Byblos Bank in the area of
Achrafieh and heard throughout Beirut, a senior security source said, adding
that it badly damaged a building and destroyed two cars.
A series of explosions have targeted Christian-dominated areas in
Beirut since the February killing of former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri and
20 others in a huge car bomb.
