Retired Lebanese Col. Charbel Barakat, speaking on behalf of the World Council of the Cedars Revolution, considers this terrorist act as directed by Hezbollah's war room against the United States and Lebanese citizens. "It is an act of terror ordered by Tehran's Pasdaran against a U.S. diplomatic target in Lebanon as President Bush is visiting the region. It should be investigated by both Lebanese and international authorities." Col. Barakat warns of further terrorist attacks by Hezbollah against U.S. personnel and targets in Lebanon.Gateway Pundit has more:
Naharnet has the most plausible explanation for this so far:El coche bomba trampa estaba aparcado en una carretera que bordea la costa a través de un vecindario industrial, y fue detonada al paso del vehículo deportivo de la embajada americana con protección anti-balas.
"A Lebanese security source told Naharnet the booby-trapped car, parked on the seafront road across the industrial neighborhood, was detonated as the U.S. Embassy's bullet proof Sports Utility Vehicle drove by it.
Another car, a BMW, was trying to overtake the U.S. Embassy vehicle and 'took the brunt of the blast. The two people in the BMW, the driver and the person sitting next to him, were killed,' the source said."
Otro coche, un BMW, estaba tratando de adelantar al vehículo de la Embajada americana y se llevó lo peor de la explosión. Las dos personas que iban en ese coche, el conductor y el copiloto, murieron en el acto.
