Suicide bombing kills four in Hezbollah area of south Beirut
By Laila Bassam BEIRUT (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed four people on Tuesday in a residential district of southern Beirut known for its support of the powerful Shi'ite Muslim military and political movement Hezbollah, security sources said. Tensions from Syria's conflict have increasingly infected neighboring Lebanon. Hezbollah has sent fighters and advisers to help its ally President Bashar al-Assad, a member of the Shi'ite-derived Alawite minority, against mainly Sunni rebels. "I was passing in the street and the explosion went off," a wounded man at a nearby hospital, Kamal Abdel Ali, said.
