PanARMENIAN.Net - A 9-year-oldArmenian child has been wounded in
Beirut bomb blast on October 19, editor-in-chief of Aztag Beirut-based
daily said.
As Shahan Kandaharian told PanARMENIAN.Net the bomber himself was
reported to have been killed in the blast.
Armenian Foreign Ministry is currently clarifying if there were
Armenians among Beirut blast victims, the ministry's spokesman Tigran
Balayan earlier told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
According to BBC News, a huge car bomb has killed at least eight
people and injured 78 in central Beirut, Lebanese officials say.
The explosion occurred in a busy street in the predominantly Christian
district of Ashrafiya.
Witnesses say it was heard several kilometers away. It is the deadliest
attack in Beirut since 2008.
No group has said it carried out the bombing. The intended target
is unclear. Tensions in Lebanon have been rising over the conflict
in Syria.
