14 Killed 212 Injured in Beirut Blast

An explosion tore through Beirut on Thursday, leaving fourteen dead and two hundred and twelve injured.

It was caused by a car bomb, parked between two apartment buildings, in a Shiite part of Lebanon's capital.

A terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attack, and stated that it was a response to Hezbollah's continued involvement in the Syrian civil war.

Hezbollah has been aiding the Syrian government in it's fight against Sunni rebel forces, causing increased tension in Lebanon.
