Lebanon fears more attacks after multiple suicide bombings

BEIRUT/QAA - The Lebanese government warned on Tuesday of a heightened terrorist threat after eight suicide bombers targeted a Christian village at the border with Syria, the latest spillover of that country's conflict into Lebanon.

 

The village of Qaa was targeted on Monday in two waves of suicide attacks that killed five people. The first group of bombers attacked before dawn and the second later at night, two of them blowing themselves up near a church.

 

Security officials believe Islamic State militants were behind the attack. There has been no claim of responsibility.
