Beirut bomb blast captured on security camera
A huge car bomb explosion close to a restaurant in Beirut injuring dozens is captured on a surveillance video.
The moment a huge car bomb explosion occurred close to a restaurant in Beirut was captured on a surveillance video.
The footage of the Friday blast showed a number of persons stunned by the explosion which killed intelligence chief Wissam al-Hassan and seven others. Numerous other were injured.
Syria has been blamed for the attack by Lebanese politicians since al-Hassan opposed the Syrian leadership and his death has caused crisis in Lebanon as political and sectarian rifts are exposed.
At least seven other persons were killed in gun battles on Monday in Beirut and Tripoli while anti-government protesters called for the resignation of Prime Minister Najib Makati.
As tensions between allies and opponents of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad continue grow, there are fears that Syria’s civil war may be spreading to Lebanon.
