BEIRUT, Lebanon - An explosion rocked a Christian area north of Beirut early Wednesday, killing at least one person and wounding two others, police said.

Police had no immediate word on what caused the blast near Jounieh, the main Christian port city 10 miles north of Beirut's center.

LBC TV, the leading station in the country, said three people were killed and two wounded in the blast, which occurred shortly after midnight.

The explosion came amid major political turmoil in Lebanon in the wake of the Feb. 14 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, and the subsequent withdrawal of Syrian troops to east Lebanon and Syria. Demonstrations and counter-demonstrations, although largely peaceful, have kept tension high between the pro-Syrian and the anti-Syrian camps.

11. Ahhhh...

Just more fodder for those with IQ's I can count on my hand that claim terrorists hate freedom, unless they are OUR terrorists in which case they are called freedom fighters and love freedom. I can hear the Pat Robertson's out there now pointing out that it was a Christian neighborhood that was attacked which therefore justifies attacking Iran. Don't worry it isn't supposed to make sense to us, we think and read.
