BEIRUT: A suicide car bombing in a southern Beirut suburb overnight left 12 people injured, the official Lebanese news agency said Tuesday.
The explosion happened around midnight local time on Tuesday (2100 GMT Monday) near an army checkpoint and a cafe where football fans were watching a World Cup match.
"Twelve people were injured in a suicide attack at an army checkpoint," the National Information Agency (ANI) reported.
"It was a car bomb and there is a strong possibility that it was a suicide attack," a security source told AFP.
There was no immediate word on any victims of the blast, but ambulances could be seen transporting some of the wounded.
An AFP photographer saw several cars on fire at the scene and other damage.
Firefighters were tackling the blaze.
A witness told Lebanese television that he saw a white Mercedes car travelling fast on the wrong side of the road before exploding.
"Terrorism seeks to undermine our unity," Hezbollah deputy Ali Ammar said. (AFP)
