The latest suicide bomb in south Beirut has killed at least two people and wounded three in the Lebanese capital.
The bomber detonated his explosives device after boarding a van, which exploded meters from a local gasoline station.
The bombing follows a series of attacks in south Beirut since last July, mainly on areas supportive of Hezbollah.
On Saturday, a suicide bomber detonated an explosives-rigged vehicle at a gasoline station in Hermel in northeastern Lebanon, the second attack on the town in less than three weeks.
Jabhat al-Nusra, an Islamist faction involved in the fighting in Syria, has claimed both Hermel attacks and the most recent blast in Beirut before today’s bomb.
