Multiple Suicide Bombings Kill 5 in Eastern Lebanon

At least 5 people were killed in multiple suicide bombings early Monday in eastern Lebanon near the border with Syria, officials said.

At least 4 suicide blasts hit the predominantly Christian village of Al-Qaa, a military source told AFP.

“The first attacker knocked on one of the homes in the village, but after the resident became suspicious, he blew himself up,” the source said.

“People began gathering at the site of the explosion and the three other suicide attackers blew themselves up,” he added.
