BEIRUT (Reuters) - A bomb exploded outside the headquarters of Lebanese Blom Bank in central Beirut on Sunday (June 12), causing damage but no fatalities, the country's interior minister said.
There were no immediate claims of responsibility.
The Lebanese banking sector has been at the centre of an escalating crisis since the United States passed a law targeting the finances of Hezbollah. The powerful Shi'ite Muslim group has launched verbal attacks on the central bank over the implementation of the act in Lebanon.
