TYRE, Lebanon - Five people were injured and a building was damaged when a bomb exploded in a restaurant in the south Lebanon coastal town of Tyre early on Monday, a Lebanese security source said.
There has been a spate of bombings in majority-Muslim Tyre in the last few months of clubs, shops and restaurants that sell alcohol, whose consumption is forbidden by Islam, and several restaurants have stopped serving alcohol as a result.The latest bomb detonated shortly after midnight in the Nocean, a restaurant serving alcohol, on the third story of a commercial complex in the east of the city, shattering the windows of nearby cars.
"Five employees were injured, but only lightly," the source said, adding that four of them were discharged from hospital on Monday morning.
