Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim said he narrowly escaped a suicide car bombing that killed an ISF officer and wounded 32 people at a Lebanese police checkpoint on the Beirut-Damascus highway Friday morning. "The explosion in Dahr al-Baidar occurred moments after the convoy I was in passed through the checkpoint," General Security Director-General Ibrahim told a local television station.

 

Security sources told The Daily Star that the blast in the Bekaa Valley was at an Internal Security Forces checkpoint in Dahr al-Baidar between Beirut and the eastern region. [Link]
