Fifty-three people wounded in car bomb in Hezbollah stronghold

The Arab Spring (read Arab Pestilence)is spilling over into Lebanon.  This is just the latest page in 1,400 years of sectarian murder and mayhem in the name of Allah.  And so Britain is giving Hezbollah 50 million Pounds in refugee aid which will surely be used to further the Hezbollah cause instead.

Fifty-three people have been wounded in a car bomb in a Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut as Britain announces £50m aid to help Syrian refugees in Lebanon.

The blast occurred this morning in the area dominated by the Lebanese Shi'ite Hezbollah militant group that has been fighting in Syria's civil war, security sources said.

The sources were unable to confirm initial reports from medics at the scene that an unspecified number were killed in the massive blast.

Tensions in Lebanon have been high following the intervention of Hezbollah in support of President Bashar al-Assad's forces fighting a two-year revolt led by Syria's Sunni Muslim majority.

'This is the work of agents trying to create strife in Lebanon,' said Hezbollah parliamentary Deputy Ali Meqdad at the site of the explosion.

A Reuters reporter on the scene saw a large fire raging at the site of the blast, which apparently targeted a shopping mall in the Bir al-Abed area.

The area is also home to many Hezbollah political offices.

A pillar of dense black smoke billowed above surrounding high-rise apartment blocks.
