One reported dead in Beirut blast

BEIRUT: At least one person was reported killed and 10 others injured in a car blast on a seafront road in a northern suburb of Beirut on Tuesday.
"There was a blast inside a car between the Dawra and Qarantina area and we have reports of injuries," a security official, who did not want to be named said while talking to a French news agency.
Local television said one person was killed in the blast along a seafront road, and television pictures showed smoke billowing into the skies over the capital. The cause was not immediately known.
Lebanon has been rocked by a string of bombings, most of which have targeted prominent anti-Syrian politicians.
