Lebanese army soldiers stand at the site of the explosion in the Shi'ite town of Hermel
Lebanese army soldiers stand at the site of the explosion in the Shi'ite town of Hermel January 16, 2014. A suicide car bomber killed three people in a Hezbollah stronghold on Lebanon's northern border with Syria on Thursday, the latest sign of the Syrian civil war's creeping impact on its small Mediterranean neighbour. The blast came as a court at The Hague began hearings on the 2005 killing of Lebanese statesman Rafik al-Hariri. The trial in absentia of four Hezbollah members, once billed as demonstrating a new start for Lebanon under the rule of law, has been overshadowed by violence spilling over from Syria.
