Two Suicide Car Bomb Attacks In Beirut Kill Six

Twin Suicide Car Bombs Strike Lebanon's Capital, Kill At Least Six -- L.A. Times

BEIRUT -- Twin suicide car bombs ripped through a residential district of the Lebanese capital Wednesday in the latest deadly attack believed tied to the war raging in neighboring Syria, according to official and witness accounts.

At least three people were killed and scores injured in the blasts, which may have targeted a nearby Iranian cultural center.

[Updated at 8:35 a.m. on Feb. 19: Lebanon's official news service later raised the death toll to at least six and said 129 people were injured, including four victims who remained in critical condition late Wednesday.

Lebanese politicians from a broad spectrum of political parties condemned the attacks, saying they were a deliberate effort to incite sectarian strife and undermine Lebanon's fragile democracy.]

The strikes -- the latest in an escalating series of bombings in Lebanon -- occurred during the morning rush hour near a busy traffic circle in the densely populated Bir Hassan neighborhood.
