An explosion tore through a business centre in a Christian town near Beirut early on Wednesday. Reports say two people were killed in the second deadly attack against an anti-Syrian stronghold since the murder of Lebanon's former prime minister last month. Shortly after midnight, a 45-pound bomb rocked the shopping centre near Jounieh, the main Christian port city about 10 miles north of Beirut. Police said they believed it was placed at the centre when it was closed. LBC TV, the leading station in the country, said three people were killed and eight wounded. But the police said two people were killed and two wounded.
