State media: Hezbollah suicide car bomber kills 3 in Lebanon

Lebanon's state media says that three people were killed in a suicide car bombing at a checkpoint manned by the Shiite Hezbollah militia.

 

The NNA news agency said the bomber detonated his explosives-rigged vehicle on Saturday at the checkpoint about 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) from the Syria border.

 

It wasn't immediately clear if the casualties were bystanders or Hezbollah fighters.

 

It was the first such bombing since February. The attack was likely linked to the war in neighboring Syria.
