BEIRUT: A small bomb exploded under a car in Beirut's southern suburb of Hay al-Selloum Monday night, slightly wounding two people, witnesses and security sources said.
They said the home-made bomb wrecked the car and shattered windows in nearby shops in the neighborhood's crowded Abbas area. Hezbollah and allied Amal Movement gunmen, who have heavy presence in the suburb, fired into the air after the blast.
Lebanese army soldiers later deployed in the area and investigations into the incident began.
