Things are going well in Lebanon also:
A large cloud of black smoke rose over the densely populated Bir al-Abed neighbourhood where the car bomb exploded in the parking plaza of a compound where Hizbollah runs an Islamic centre and a shopping centre.
There were conflicting accounts of the toll of the blast with one TV channel reporting several dead and at least five badly injured. Hizbollah sealed off the site of the explosion.
"The explosion in the Bir al-Abed area was caused by a car bomb in the parking lot next to an Islamic cooperation centre," Hizbollah's Al-Manar TV reported.
Hizbollah has been the focus of increasing sectarian resentment as it has become deeply involved in the Syrian civil war. It has sent fighters to join President Bashar al-Assad's forces in facing down the revolt, an issue that has deeply divided Lebanon and sparked frequent eruptions of violence.
