Lebanon blast: Car bombing in Beirut kills eight
Written By Rahul Rathish on Friday, 19 October 2012 | 08:27
A huge car bomb has killed at least eight people and injured 78 in central Beirut, Lebanese officials say.
The explosion occurred in a busy street in the predominantly Christian district of Ashrafiya.
Witnesses say it was heard several kilometres away. It is the deadliest attack in Beirut since 2008.
No group has said it carried out the bombing. The intended target is unclear. Tensions in Lebanon have been rising over the conflict in Syria.
Friday's attack took place near Sassine Square, at a time when many parents were picking up children from school.
There were chaotic scenes as emergency vehicles rushed to the area.
Plea for blood donors
The blast caused considerable damage, setting cars ablaze and destroying the facades of nearby buildings.
Plea for blood donors
The blast caused considerable damage, setting cars ablaze and destroying the facades of nearby buildings.
Ronnie Chatah, who lives 500m from the site of the blast, told the BBC: "The building shook and it echoed throughout the neighbourhood."
The BBC's Wyre Davies in Beirut says that although the attack comes after a long period of relative calm in the city, many residents had feared something like this would happen and that Lebanon would be inevitably dragged into the conflict in Syria.
Some Lebanese political leaders have already accused the Syria government of being behind the bombing.
However Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi called it a "cowardly terrorist act".
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said the government was trying to identify the perpetrators and said they would be punished.
The attack occurred close to the headquarters of the Kataeb, better known as the Phalange, a Maronite Christian group.
The general secretariat of the Western-backed 14 March coalition of former Prime Minister Saad Hariri is also based in the area.
An MP from the alliance, Michel Pharaon, told al-Jazeera TV: "I think Ashrafiya is a target, and 14 March is a target. This region is symbolic because it is in the heart of the capital and it is a Christian neighbourhood."
Nearby hospitals are calling for people to donate blood to help treat the wounded.

Afghan roadside bomb kills 18 wedding guests
A massive roadside bomb has killed at least 18 people on their way to a wedding in northern Afghanistan.
At least 15 others have been wounded in what a BBC correspondent called one of the worst such attacks in the country for some time.
A minibus was carrying men, women and children to the wedding in the Dawlatabad district of Balkh province when it was struck by the bomb.
It is not clear whether they were the intended target.
No-one has admitted carrying out the attack, which happened at 06:00 local time.
"All the victims were civilians and mostly they were women and children," provincial police spokesman Shir Jan Durrani told the AFP news agency.
Officials warned that the number of dead could increase.
Dawood Rustaie, a surgeon treating the wounded at a hospital in Mazar-e-Sharif, the capital of Balkh, said most were in a critical condition.
"Some of them [are] slightly wounded, but some others have severe injuries and need prolonged treatment," said Mr Rustaie.
Northern Afghanistan has generally been one of the safest parts of the country since the US-led invasion in 2001, says the BBC's Andrew North in Kabul.
But Balkh has seen an increase in Taliban activity in recent years, which Nato forces - despite their extra numbers - have been unable to suppress.
A UN report in August said civilian casualties had actually fallen for the first time in five years in Afghanistan - suggesting both sides in the war are becoming increasingly sensitive to the impact of civilian deaths.
But the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, which published the report, said it was concerned that the number of civilian deaths and injuries "remains at a high level".
There are no exact figures for the number of civilians killed since the war began in 2001, but most estimates calculate a minimum of 20,000 civilian deaths.

EU summit: France says bank deal helps eurozone fusion
The French president says a deal to start building a banking union on 1 January will enable the eurozone to speed up economic integration.
"Thanks to this we can advance more quickly and with more assurance," Francois Hollande said in Brussels.
He was speaking after EU leaders agreed to set up a single banking supervisor for the 17-nation eurozone - a key step towards a banking union.
But Mr Hollande also said EU states "need different speeds" of integration.
"We should have a council of the eurozone to meet on a regular basis... We need different speeds - that's agreed by everyone now, and there are even some moving backwards," he told a news conference.
Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel insisted again that "quality takes precedence over speed" in setting up the banking union.
New ECB clout
It has been agreed that the European Central Bank (ECB), as supervisor-in-chief, will have the power to intervene in any of the eurozone's 6,000 banks.
The deal appears to be a compromise between France and Germany, who earlier disagreed over the timing and over the number of banks the ECB would oversee.
A legislative framework is to be in place by 1 January, with the supervisory body starting work later in 2013.
The timetable remains important, because only when the body is fully operational will the eurozone's new rescue fund, the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), be able to recapitalise struggling banks directly, without adding to a country's sovereign debt pile.
Berlin wanted to put the brakes on over this and much wrangling lies ahead, the BBC's Europe editor Gavin Hewitt says.
Mrs Merkel insisted on Friday that "the right sequence is important" and added: "It's already quite an ambitious roadmap."
Germany had been at odds with the European Commission over the scope of the proposed ECB supervision. All the eurozone banks will be included - but Germany had wanted it limited to the biggest, "systemic" banks.
Previously, the German government has expressed a desire to retain supervisory responsibility within Germany over the country's Landesbanks - state-owned banks that play a key role in the economies and state finances of Germany's federal regions.
European Council President Herman Van Rompuy said the 27 EU leaders had agreed to set up "a Single Supervisory Mechanism[SSM], to prevent banking risks and cross-border contagion from emerging".
"Once this is agreed, the SSM could probably be effectively operational in the course of 2013," he said.
With new supervisory powers the ECB would be able to act early on to prevent a systemically dangerous accumulation of debt on a bank's balance sheets.
UK concerns
ECB supervision will not extend to the UK - Europe's main financial centre, but outside the euro.
However, the BBC's Business editor Robert Peston says there is now a serious risk that the UK will always be outvoted when decisions are taken on the regulation of banking and finance in the EU as a whole.
It is more than a theoretical possibility that the interests of the UK and City of London in shaping financial rules will be systematically ignored or overridden, he says. The UK also wants safeguards to protect the powers of the Bank of England.
Mrs Merkel said the agreement was that "banks must be supervised in a differentiated way. That means that some will be direct... at the ECB level and others indirectly, via the national authorities."
She also said that ECB President Mario Draghi had told her it would be some months before the ECB was ready to take on its new role.
Mrs Merkel confirmed that the EU bailout funds would not be used to directly inject risk-absorbing capital into troubled eurozone banks until the new supervisory arrangements were in place.
Fraught with complications
The leaders agreed that the ECB's new supervisory function would be strictly separated from its role in setting monetary policy.
The banking union plan is fraught with legal complications, as it would give more powers to the ECB and possibly weaken those of national regulators.
There is speculation that it could lead to treaty changes - something that has caused big headaches for the EU in the past.
The EU Commission said the arrangement would be "as inclusive as legally possible for non-euro members to join if they want to".
