Terrorist Bombing Near Iranian Cultural Center in Beirut
It happened in the Bir Hassan district of the Lebanese capital, which is also close to the Kuwaiti Embassy.
The al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group Abdullah Azzam Brigades has claimed responsibility for the bombing.
The group said its target was the cultural center of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Some of the center’s staff have been slightly injured in the bombing and the building has also been damaged.
Beirut has been repeatedly hit by similar terrorist attacks in recent months. A large number of people have lost their lives in the bombings.
More than two dozen people, including Iran’s cultural attaché to Beirut, were killed and at least 150 others injured in November last year after two explosions struck near the Iranian Embassy in southern Beirut.
