Lebanon

A car bombing in a Christian neighborhood in Beirut killed four, including an intelligence officer. The intelligence unit the officer belonged to is “closely involved in the U.N.-led investigation into the 2005 assassination of Hariri’s father, former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri, and in a crackdown on al Qaeda-inspired militants.”
