18 killed in Beirut explosions

Hezbollah affiliated Lebanese channel Al-Manar reported that 18 are now confirmed dead in the two explosions which took place in south Beirut.

Lebanese parliament member Ali Ammar of the Hezbollah said in an interview from the scene of the bombings to the Al Mayadeen network that the perpetrators of the attack were serving the "Zionist enemy." He blamed the "heretical organizations," a term used for the Syrian rebels, for the attack. (Roi Kais)
