A car packed with explosives blew up in a southern Lebanon village near Tyre that is patrolled by U.N. peacekeeping forces, killing four people and wounding one. The explosives--rigged in a white Volvo--went off on a road leading to a Shia Muslim-controlled village eight miles north of Israel’s border. Three occupants in the car, including a 10-year-old boy, and a Shia Muslim passer-by, died in the blast. Another passer-by was injured. It was not known whether the occupants of the car knew about the explosives. Meanwhile, Muslim guerrillas wounded five militiamen of the Israeli-backed South Lebanon Army in an attack on the edge of Israel’s security zone.
