A car bomb exploded in a mainly Christian residential neighborhood of
the Lebanese capital Beirut late on Friday, killing one person and
wounding at least 19, 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.
"What we lived this night was like hell," Eva Nashleklian told Reuters
as she wiped blood off her arm.
Ambulances ferried 12 wounded people to nearby hospitals, while seven
others were lightly injured and did not need urgent treatment, a Red
Cross source said.
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. Most have targeted commercial districts.
