Beirut: A day after a suicide bomber rocked a suburb of Lebanon’s capital city, the death toll risen to 24 with about 250 people being injured, the Lebanese Red Cross said.
The army has urged the victims’ relatives to undergo DNA tests to help identify the corpses, Xinhua reported Friday.
A suicide bomber, riding in a black BMW, Thursday detonated an explosive device on a road in the Shia Islamic militant group and political party Hezbollah’s stronghold in southern Beirut.
A Sunni group calling itself the “Brigades of Aisha Umm al- Moemeneen” later claimed responsibility for the bombing in an online video while threatening more attacks over Hezbollah’s involvement in Syrian violence.
