    Two Armenians, including child, killed in Beirut blast

    October 20, 2012 - 13:04 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Two Armenians, a woman and a child, were killed in
    the Oct 19 blast in the Lebanese capital of Beirut.

    According to Nouvelles d'Armenie, the victims were identified as
    Georgette Sargisian and 9-year-old Noy Dodelian.

    Earlier, Aztag paper editor-in-chief Shahan Kandaharian told
    PanARMENIAN.Net that a 9-year-old Armenian child was wounded in the
    explosion, but the information was not confirmed.

    A huge car bomb that took lives of 8 people exploded in a busy street
    in central Beirut, in the predominantly Christian district of
    Ashrafiya. Witnesses said it was heard several kilometers away. It was
    the deadliest attack in Beirut since 2008. No group said it carried
    out the bombing. The intended target was unclear.

    Tensions in Lebanon have been rising over the conflict in Syria.
