Bombs Kill 3, Injure 4 in West Beirut
From Associated Press
BEIRUT —
Two bombs exploded in the main seaside boulevard of Muslim West Beirut only seconds apart today. Three people were reported killed and four wounded.
The blasts shook the Syrian-controlled area in the midmorning as Syrian gunners in the same coastal district opened artillery fire on Christian areas. The attacks have become a daily ritual aimed at preventing Christian units of the Lebanese army from receiving military supplies by sea.
No one claimed responsibility for this morning’s bomb blasts.
