An explosion ripped through a US Embassy vehicle Tuesday as it travelled along a coastal highway north of Beirut, killing four Lebanese civilian bystanders, a US State Department spokesman told CNN.
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the driver of the vehicle was slightly injured and the only passenger -- a foreign service national -- was not hurt.
Officials could not confirm that the vehicle was the target of the blast, or if it tripped a roadside bomb intended for a different target.
A Western diplomatic source said an American, an Iraqi and three Lebanese were among those wounded in the blast, which happened around 4:45 p.m. (9:45 a.m. ET).
