إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese army experts defused at dawn Friday a car rigged with hundreds of kilograms of explosives in the eastern Bekaa Valley but failed to arrest its driver.
The army took over the vehicle between the towns of Maqne and Younine after armed gangs engaged in a gunbattle following midnight, said Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3).
The state-run National News Agency said the black car had been rigged with around 500 kilograms of TNT.
The army also found two mortars and a high-tech remote control to set off the explosives in the Buick carrying the license plate G/401907.
NNA said bullets had pierced the car's front window and tires.
The incident came three days after suicide bombers struck the Iranian embassy in Beirut's southern suburbs, leaving 25 people dead and 147 wounded.

This issue is bigger than a March 14 March 8 dispute.
I do not want my country to become like the hell on Earth that is Iraq.
We need to really work together as a nation before allowing this danger to spread.
Pray for Lebanon

I don't believe this at all.... This country is headed for destruction; unless everybody submit to the government and establish a Swiss Model Country and have peace with everybody....
