Car Bomb in Beirut Injures 53

A car bomb exploded in Beirut, Lebanon, on Tuesday injuring fifty-three people.

The explosion spread flames to many other vehicles, catching them on fire as well.

It occurred in a Hezbollah stronghold, making it likely that it was a retaliation for their involvement in the Syrian civil war.

Hezbollah has made itself a large part of the Syrian conflict, aiding the Syrian regime against rebel forces.

Their involvement has angered Sunnis in Syria, Lebanon, and elsewhere.
