Deadly blast rocks Christian Beirut
A huge explosion rocked a Christian suburb east of Beirut today, killing at least four people and injuring dozens, it was reported.
The blast comes as Lebanon is embroiled in its worst political crisis since the end of the 1975-90 civil war and amid heightened tensions between pro-government and opposition groups.
The country has been without a president since November 23 when Emile Lahoud left office and a deadlocked parliament failed to elect a successor.
