Akkar Woman Dies of Wounds Sustained in Ksara Blast
Khaldiyeh Chidiac, a 55-year-old resident of the Akkar town of Miniara, died Sunday of wounds sustained in the August 31 blast in Zahle's Ksara area, state-run National News Agency reported.
The bombing had killed an elderly Syrian woman and left at least ten people injured.
The explosive device, which was placed in a trash bin at a busy roundabout, was targeted against buses carrying AMAL Movement supporters to a rally commemorating Imam Moussa al-Sadr in the southern city of Tyre.
The blast went off shortly after the passage of AMAL convoys near the roundabout, hitting buses coming from Akkar instead.
General Security has announced the arrest of a cell comprising Lebanese and Syrian militants over involvement in the attack.
