Three die in bus blasts on eve of Hariri rally
Bomb blasts hit a pair of commuter buses in a co-ordinated attack that killed three people near Beirut today, on the eve of a massive rally marking the 2005 assassination of Lebanon’s former prime minister.
The blasts stoked fears of more turmoil, as an already tense Lebanese capital braced for Rafik Hariri’s commemoration. Government supporters plan to mark the day with a massive rally at the late premier’s grave site in downtown Beirut - just feet away from ongoing opposition protests seeking to topple the government.
