REPORT: Investigations in Choueifat's explosion continue

Security apparatuses followed up Tuesday on the investigations into the Choueifat explosion, which occured Monday evening, under the supervision of the State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr.

Judge Saqr ordered the opening of the Choueifat road in both directions after collecting evidence from the scene of the crime.

As well, testimonies of witnesses are being heard by the concerned authorities, and cameras footage placed in the region is being analyzed to reveal the identity of the suicide bomber.

A suicide bomber blew himself up in a passenger van south the Lebanese capital Monday, wounding at least six people, the state news agency said. The blast, which took place during the evening rush hour in the Choueifat district, appeared to be the latest in a string of attacks in Lebanon linked to the civil war in neighboring Syria. The conflict has deeply divided Lebanon along sectarian lines and helped fuel a surge in violence that has rattled the fragile country.
