Three Lebanese soldiers dead, four wounded in suicide bomber attack

After a terrorist attack on the town of Arsal at an army checkpoint, three Lebanese soldiers were martyred, and four were wounded on Saturday evening.

A suicide bomber, driving a black Kia, detonated the booby-trapped car with himself in it at the checkpoint, according to Al-Manar.

Hezbollah, a group who supports the Syrian government, condemned the attack saying that, “This [attack] proves that terrorism is, beyond any doubt, the enemy of all, without exception,” according to CNN.

Aid was sent to the explosion to transport the wounded, and to gather the bodies of those who died.

The Syrian army police are called upon to conduct the investigation for the attack and to find the attackers, however one group has already claimed responsibility. Free Sunni Brigade in Baalbek claimed responsibility for the attack via twitter.

Hezbollah is a well-known militant group who is fighting against Syrian Dictator Bashar Assad, and has been named as a terrorist group by the United States.
